Summary
This presentation will discuss the culture of autism and the TEACCH (Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication Handicapped Children) approach to instruction, which was developed by Eric Schopler in the late 1970s. An overview of the basic tenets for using visual supports to structure the environment to promote learning and independence will be presented.
WHERE DID STRUCTURED TEACHING COME FROM? University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Culture of Autism
• Relative strength in and preference for processing visual information (difficulties with auditory processing, particularly of language)
• Frequent attention to details but difficulty understanding the meaning of how those details fit together
Culture of Autism, continued
• Difficulty combining ideas • Difficulty with organizing ideas, materials,
and activities • Difficulties with attention—too much or too
little • Communication problems, which vary by
developmental level but always include impairments in the social use of language

Culture of Autism, continued
• Difficulty with concepts of time --moving too quickly or too slowly --problems recognizing beginning, middle, or end
of an activity
• Tendency to become attached to routines --activities may be difficult to generalize --disruptions can be upsetting, confusing, or uncomfortable
Culture of Autism, continued
• Very strong interests and impulses to engage in favored activities, with difficulties disengaging once engaged
• Marked sensory preferences and dislikes

Think time…
What are two challenges for individuals
on the autism spectrum as described
by the Culture of Autism?
Difficulty with:
• Attention to details • Combining ideas • Organization • Communication • Concepts of time • Attachment to routines • Strong interests and impulses • Sensory abnormalities

Myths & Misunderstandings TEACCH is…
• only for children • only for individuals with intellectual disabilities • only for students in self-contained classrooms • programs do not teach language
So… What is Structured Teaching? • Visually based • Highly structured environments • Clear understanding of:
--Schedules --Activities --Routines --Expectations
• Goal is to create environment for independence

Think Time… If Structured Teaching focuses on independence, would one caution be that it can isolate individuals and cause them to be lonely?
A: True B: False

Structured Environments help individuals…
• Understand and predict what is happening • Predict expectations of an environment • Acquire new skills • Generalize new skills from one setting to another
(Iovannone, Dunlap, Huber, & Kincaid, 2003)
Major Components of ST
• Physical organization / visual boundaries
• Schedules
• Works systems
• Routines
• Task organization

Teaching Change
• Surprise!! • For unexpected changes, teach a “Change Card”
Think Time… Name at least one purpose for teaching a student to use a visual schedule.
![Page 26: TRI-STATE WEBINAR SERIES - Amazon Web Services · 11/12/15 1 TRI-STATE WEBINAR SERIES The Principles of Structured Teaching Tri State Webinar Series 2015-2016 Developed by: Mary Woodworth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081401/5b4017047f8b9a2f138cdbf0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Purposes for Teaching a Student to Use a Visual Schedule • Make abstract events more concrete • Provide flexibility • Help with transitions • Make the day predictable • Help with language difficulties • Show the beginning and end • Teach ‘change’
Work Systems Tell students what to do!

Work Systems
• What work? • How much work? • When am I finished?
• What’s next? (What do I do or what do I get when I am finished?)

Independent Work Systems
• Involve the student in a constructive, independent activity
• Review mastered material • Provide a calming activity: easy, predictable,
familiar • Practice recently taught materials
(e.g., seat work)
Independent Work System Considerations
• Level of functioning
• Sustained attention
• Prompts
• Reinforcement
• Should increase as student develops skills

What 4 Questions should be visually
answered when developing a work
system?
![Page 31: TRI-STATE WEBINAR SERIES - Amazon Web Services · 11/12/15 1 TRI-STATE WEBINAR SERIES The Principles of Structured Teaching Tri State Webinar Series 2015-2016 Developed by: Mary Woodworth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081401/5b4017047f8b9a2f138cdbf0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

The 4 Questions
• What work?
• How much work?
• When is it finished?
• What’s next?
Individualized Instruc[on or 1:1 Work • A teaching period in the learning environment where a
teacher works directly with a student. • Teacher o^en uses behavioral principles to teach new
skills or prac[ce skills. • Skills can then be made into a structured task for more
independent prac[ce • A teacher can incorporate a work system into the child’s
one-‐on-‐one.

Teaching Rou[nes
• Goal is to create a framework within the schedule
• Helps individuals become more flexible—change content once routine is established
• Activities within a lesson
• Steps in activity / task analysis
• Job lists
