SAS is an international organisation dedicated to researching, developing and providing effective neuro-sensory intervention techniques that strengthen sensory processing, language, memory and understanding and that enhance physical abilities, speech, reading and writing and that improve behaviour, social skills and emotional well-being.

Our methodology is firmly based on scientifically proven principles and we gather data on the effectiveness of our programmes through six distinct routes:

  • Pre and post programme assessment test results;
  • Observations by our trained staff during the assessment and programme delivery stages;
  • Anecdotal feedback by clients, parents, caretakers or teachers, both during and post programmes;
  • Standardised post-programme feedback forms from clients or parents (see below);
  • Independent feedback from educational establishments involved in SAS research projects;
  • Independent research by recognised academic research establishments such as Teaching Hospitals and Universities.

Client Feedback

Clients are requested to complete a post programme questionnaire, evaluating progress in 27 different categories by indicating:

  • Great Improvement = +100 score;
  • Good Improvement = +67 score;
  • Some Improvement = +33 score;
  • No Change = 0 score;
  • Deterioration = -100 score;
  • Not Applicable = not scored.


The aggregated mean scores are on a scale from -100 (all Deteriorate) through 0 (average No Change) to +100 (all Great Improvement). All positive scores indicate an improvement.
