and TEACCH Charlotte Staff
Target Audience:
Those who work with young children or concrete learners with autism such as classroom teachers and assistants in self-contained special education classrooms, school psychologists, other related services personnel, such as behavior management technicians, guidance counselors, speech language pathologists, occupational therapists, CBS workers and parents of children with autism. This training is for people who have not attended a TEACCH training before or who would like a review of basic Structured Teaching principles.
Content:
Since 1972, Division 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. Division 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.
Objectives:
• Increase participants familiarity with the characteristics of autism and with the learning styles of students with autism.
• Introduce procedures necessary for completing informal assessment in the classroom and developing curriculum goals.
• Introduce participants to the fundamental principles of Structured Teaching and how it is applied in the classroom and during leisure through the use of physical structure, schedules, work systems, and visual structure.
Continuing Education Credits:
CEU credits will be given upon completion of this course.
Selection:
Due to the nature of this program space is limited and will be assigned on a “first come, first served” basis. Once full, applicants will be put on a waiting list should openings become available.
