Structured teaching is a visually based approach to creating highly structured environments that support individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in all settings. It is based on the principles of Division TEACCH (Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication Handicapped Children). Structured teaching allows for implementation of a variety of evidence-based practices that are identified by the National Clearinghouse of Autism Evidence and Practice in the 2020 report, Evidence-Based Practices for Children, Youth, and Youth Adults with Autism including visual supports, antecedent-based interventions, reinforcement, and self-management. In this 2-day course, the presenter will use lecture, demonstration, and discussion to introduce participants to a variety of strategies to support students in preschool through high school. Many of these strategies, which can be used to support students in special education classrooms as well as general education settings, are also effective for students with attention deficit disorders, emotional disturbances, hearing impairments, communication challenges, intellectual disability, specific learning disability, and traumatic brain injury.
Participants will learn the components of structured teaching, including how to use visual supports to provide physical structure of the learning environment, individualized daily schedules, and work activity systems to assist students in independently completing tasks in academic areas, self-help/daily living skills, and play skills, recognize how autism can affect student performance in the general curriculum, as well as understanding evidence-based strategies that can assist these students in the least restrictive environment, how to embed a variety of evidence-based practices into a student's program using structured teaching methods, and make and take a variety of visually-structured materials that can be implemented with students immediately.
This training is in person and may be recorded. For questions please contact julie.wheeler@cahelp.org
