The messages we receive from people using the methodolgy are daily proof that The Essential 5 methodology really works. Nonetheless, we aim to underpin that positive effect with figures. We are therefore delighted that several Dutch universities are conducting research into the effect of The Essential 5 methodology.
These studies are still ongoing. The results will be shared on this page.
Studies among families who received system treatment in combination with video feedback show that following the deployment of The Essential 5 methodology, children with autism demonstrate fewer behavioural problems and function more independently. Children are once again able to develop.
Additional problems linked to autism such as anxiety, depression, aggression and compulsive behaviour have been shown to decline significantly. This in turn leads to greater peace for the child and in the entire family.
Never before have scientific studies into methods and protocols for autism revealed such positive results
Studies show that parents who have completed The Essential 5 training demonstrate a significant improvement in parent-child interactions, parenting qualities and positive parenting experiences, after a short time. There is also a decline in health problems among parents.
Offering The Essential 5 training preventively could lead to lower (health care) costs and improved social participation by the family.
Studies show that after undergoing training with The Essential 5 methodology, care professionals experience lower pressure of work, with positive consequences for work enjoyment and absenteeism due to sickness.
Moreover, clients also perceive less stress, exhibit less problematic behaviour and are able to develop more independently.
As such, training for these care professionals not only benefits the care professionals themselves but also has clear benefits for everyone.
