4.1 Structures -The TEACCH concept
‘The primary aim of the TEACCH programme is to help to prepare people with autism to live or work more effectively at home, at school and in the community. Special emphasis is placed on helping people with autism and their families live together more effectively by reducing or removing 'autistic behaviours'.
![Page 26: Autism l2](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081413/549919b2b47959f4398b45db/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The TEACCH concept• Improved adaptation: through the two strategies of improving skills by
means of education and of modifying the environment to accommodate deficits.
• Parent collaboration: parents work with professionals as co-therapists for their children so that techniques can be continued at home.
• Assessment for individualised treatment: unique educational programmes are designed for all individuals on the basis of regular assessments of abilities.
• Structured teaching: it has been found that children with autism benefit more from a structured educational environment than from free approaches.
