Figures 7.5.2 and 7.5.3 show a mostly positive response from all students about their
encouragement from adults and indicate that they do feel well supported, in both the
mainstream and the special school.

Before music therapy, The Centre School students were all positive, and 90%
definitely felt they were encouraged. After music therapy this figure decreased,
however, together with those who said that there was some encouragement, the
overall figures are more comparable. Rory said: “Well, if we like get stuck on
something they’ll always help. And we’ve always got like enough teachers in the
classroom to help us…” (appendix 7.1.35, p.482). None of the students said that there
was not enough encouragement from teachers.
