Q12. What is ’TEACCH?’

A12. This is another intervention for the treatment of autism. It stands for ’Treatment and Education of Autistic and related CommuniCation Handicapped children’.

It is a comprehensive programme designed for autistic adults and children plus their families with the aim of enabling all parties to live together. It does this by reducing the symptoms of autism and modifying many of the behaviours.

This is a structured approach which works well with other interventions such as SPELL.
