Treatment and Education of Autistic and Related Communication Handicapped Children (TEACCH)
Basic Characteristics
- Description
TEACCH was developed based off scientific studies that show children with ASD are relatively strong in visual information processing. As such, this type of intervention uses strategies such as visual schedules, clearly structured and organized classrooms, and highly structured learning activities that are broken down into manageable, visually organized steps. There are published reports which show improvement in behaviors and functional skills as well as high parent satisfaction with this approach, but there have been no random controlled studies that link improvement in ASD children with TEACCH interventions.1, 3
- Approach
TEACCH uses a Structured Teaching method, which has the following four mechanisms:2
1) structuring the environment and activities should be structured in a way that is understandable to the individual.
2) using individuals' relative strengths in visual skills and interest in visual details to supplement relatively weaker skills
3) using the individuals' special interests to engage them in learning
4) supporting self-initiated use of meaningful communication.
