Structured Teaching—TEACCH
Founded by Eric Schopler 45 years ago, TEACCH has
developed strategies that have served people with Autism
Spectrum Disorders (ASD) of all ages and all levels of
functioning all over the world. Called Structured
Teaching, the strategies and approaches are based on
understanding the neurological differences that research
has identified in people with ASD and then adjusting
educational, self-help, and community-based activities
so that these activities are taught in ways that more
closely match their learning styles than other
approaches used today.
The presentation will
describe some of the learning differences that have been
identified in people with ASD and show how these can be
accommodated by making appropriate adaptations in how
educational strategies and approaches are created and
delivered

this presentation will provide an overview and practical
suggestions for transition planning AT ANY AGE in
support of desirable employment outcomes for individuals
on the autism spectrum. Topics covered include
assessment, community based training, employment
development, job-related social skills and concerns
about quality of life.

university, and received a Ph.D. in Tropical Ecology.
Danny has done fieldwork in the rain forests of Africa

patience, and obsession have put him at the top of his

him to
produce perfect works of art that are of a
higher standard than normal.
