The EHC outcomes pyramid has been developed by CDC as a tool to help professionals and parents identify outcomes for children and young people with special educational needs.
It is based on a piece of work carried out as part of the CHUMS research study into health outcomes, led by researchers from the Peninsula Cerebra Research Unit. CDC spoke with over 100 children, young people and parents about the outcomes that mattered to them and found that they could be visualised as a hierarchy and the EHC outcomes pyramid was developed as a tool to help bring that process to life.
