TEACCH Tasks
TEACCH stands for "Treatment & Education of Autistic & related Communication Handicapped CHildren"The environment is highly structured with an area designed for independent tasks. Essentially the child has a schedule of tasks that are defined by a picture that they then match to the actual task. Once the task is complete they place the task in a bucket that means finished. This continues until they reach a "star" or other marker that means they are finished and have earned a reward. The program relies heavily on visual learning. This is a very brief overview of TEACCH. Many students in self contained special education classroom settings where the ratio of teachers to students is high become highly prompt dependent and do not learn to work on their own. TEACCH helps to create a structured independent learning environment. The tasks vary depending on the students needs in your classroom. I will continue to show a variety of tasks that range from fine motor, reading, matching, math, and other skills. The first picture is an example of my TEACCH system in my classroom. The second picture is an example of a task. The cards were based on the "ack" word family. Some students were working on reading the words, while others worked on matching the clothespins with letters to the letters on the cards.
