Teacch® stands for “Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication handicapped Children” – translated this means: “Treatment and educational support of autistic and similarly communication handicapped children”.

The approach was developed in the 1960s by Dr Eric Schopler and his team at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the USA, with the significant involvement of parents with autistic children.

It is an educational-therapeutic approach that includes the aspects of structuring and visualisation in everyday situations.
The structuring support is independent of the developmental stage or language skills of the person concerned. The assistance is customised and adapted to the individual person – taking into account the individual’s needs and interests.

TEACCH – Daily schedule
A TEACCH daily schedule uses pictures or objects to represent activities or tasks in the order in which they should be done.
Many people on the autism spectrum (not all) benefit from visual communication: many are visual learners and absorb visual information better than verbal instructions.
Visual communication can improve understanding. Spoken language is fleeting and inconsistent. It must be understood in the moment it happens. Visualising statements can make them tangible and consistent.
