The TEACCH Autism Program provides services each year to over 7,000 North Carolina individuals with autism and their families.  As a result of the program’s work over the past 40 years, only 5% of TEACCH’s adult clients with autism have to be institutionalized, compared to an average of 46% internationally.  The programs and services TEACCH offers include:

Clinical diagnostic services for persons of all ages and their families
More than 1000 new referrals are made to TEACCH each year for diagnostic and teaching services.  While most of these are from within North Carolina, approximately 5-10% of these referrals are from other states and even other countries.

Early Intervention services for infants and toddlers with autism
The TEACCH Early Intervention Program is an intensive, hands-on program that works to help young children with autism and their families learn skills and strategies that will insure the children’s success as they grow older and enter the educational system.  TEACCH assists over 100 families with these services each year.
