2-Day event - Feb 14 & 19
This 2-day highly interactive
workshop will provide participants with a basic working knowledge of TEACCH
methodology (Treatment and Education of Autistic and other Communication
Handicapped Children) and its role in working with students with autism
spectrum disorders and other disabilities. Physical structure of the learning
environment and visual structure of learning materials will be discussed and
demonstrated. Visual structure of learning materials will also be practiced in
hands-on activities. Visual structure may be used to provide accommodations as
well as modifications of materials. Participants will also practice structuring
a variety of visual schedules and work systems.
These types of structure are well
researched and are effective interventions for students with ADHD, cognitive
disabilities, multiple disabilities and learning disabilities as well as for
students on the autism spectrum. Using TEACCH strategies in understanding and
working with other characteristics of autism spectrum disorders, such as
communication, social skills, and behavior will also be thoroughly addressed.
