    TEACCH (Treatment and Education of Autistic and Communication Handicapped Children) is an educational approach and intervention program for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. The program was developed in the early 1970s at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and has since been implemented worldwide.

    The TEACCH program is based on the idea that individuals with ASD have strengths and weaknesses that can be accommodated in the educational setting. The program emphasizes a structured environment that is predictable and consistent, which can help individuals with ASD feel more secure and less anxious. The program also uses visual supports, such as schedules and picture cards, to help individuals with ASD understand expectations and tasks.
