What is TEACCH? Division TEACCH started in 1966 as part of
the Department of Psychiatry of the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina in the USA.
In 1972 the North Carolina General Assembly passed legislation which enabled Division TEACCH to become the first comprehensive state-wide community-based programme of services for autism and other similar developmental disorders.
Aim of TEACCH programme Prepare people with autism to live
or work more effectively at home, at school and in the community.
Special emphasis is placed on helping people with autism and their families live together more effectively by reducing or removing 'autistic behaviours'.
