2-Day TEACCH (Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication handicapped Children)
Course Description
TEACCH is an evidence based programme for individuals with ASD. It is a structured teaching system which organises the classroom (space), the day (time, routine) and the activities (pace and duration). TEACCH aims for a 'whole life' approach in supporting children, adolescents, and adults with ASD. This is achieved through the support of visual information, structure and predictability. SESS provides 2-Day and 5-Day TEACCH courses.
