TEACCH TRAINING - OCN Level 2

The principles and concepts guiding the TEACCH system have been summarised as:

• 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.
• Skill enhancement: Assessment identifies emerging skills and work then focuses upon these. (This approach is also applied to staff and parent training.)
• Cognitive and behaviour therapy: Educational procedures are guided by theories of cognition and behaviour suggesting that difficult behaviour may result from underlying problems in perception and understanding.
• Generalist training: Professionals in the TEACCH system are trained as generalists who understand the whole child, and do not specialise as psychologists, speech therapists etc.
