In their 2022-2023 Data Summary, external independent evaluators Dr. Dever and Dr. Lindström concluded that, “Statistical evidence from the 2022-23 academic year supports an increase in: 1) liking for school and 2) perceived friendship following the Mikayla’s Voice intervention across grades K-12. In addition, students who participated in the mentorship intervention schools at the high school level reported increased openness to interactions with peers with disabilities as well as a stronger interest in a career in the human services..” Their full report is attached below.
