Our Clinical Principles Are Our Foundation

Polygon’s mission is to enable every person with a learning difference to reach their full potential. We believe we can most effectively deliver on our mission by adhering to these principles.

Our Clinical Principles

1
Differences, Not Disabilities

We believe that most learning differences come with legitimate strengths. At the same time, we acknowledge the challenges people with learning differences face.

2
Best-In-Class Services

We strive to make our evaluations the most accurate, our support services the most effective, and our customer experience second to none.

3
Candid Communication

We speak candidly with every customer. We eliminate euphemisms and jargon throughout the process. We write reports that are clear, concise, and informative.

4
Rigorously Evidence-Based and Data-Driven

Everything we do is evidence-based and data-driven. We always avoid appeals to authority and never rely excessively on clinical judgment.

5
Bloated is Not the Same as Comprehensive

Bloating increases costs and therefore reduces access to learning differences services. We will never sell our clients redundant services.

6
Solve for Under- and Over-Diagnosis

Too many people are denied access to quality services; others are issued erroneous diagnoses in what can be a pay-to-play process. We offer evaluations that are accessible and accurate.

7
Proportionate Accommodations

The sole purpose of our recommended academic accommodations is to enhance learning; insufficient or excessive accommodations prevent a student from reaching their potential.

8
Effectiveness Over Efficacy

Effectiveness measures how an intervention performs in the real world; efficacy is how an intervention performs in ideal circumstances. We favor practical recommendations.

9
Focus on the Mission

We serve people with learning differences over all other stakeholders.
