Target Audience
This course is designed for special education teachers, assistant teachers, speech therapist, and others professionals who work with children who have autism spectrum disorders.
Content
Since 1972, TEACCH has coordinated the nation's largest statewide education and treatment program for children and adults with autism and related communication handicaps. With IDEA '97 (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Amendments of 1997) emphasizing least restrictive settings, more people with autism and other severe behavior, learning and communication disorders are being served in an array of school and community settings. This has increased the need for comprehensive in-service training. TEACCH, a division of the Medical School of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, provides training programs to teachers and other professionals from around the world.

• Recognize characteristics of autism and how structured teaching can be used to address behavior issues.
