Abstract

TEACCH Structured Teaching consists of strategies both for teaching new skills and for designing environmental supports, so that the individuals function with the highest possible degree of independence given their neuropsychological impairments. The long-term goals of the TEACCH approach include both developing skills for daily living and fulfilling fundamental human needs such as dignity, a sense of security and peace in one’s life, engagement in productive and personally meaningful activities, and feelings of self-efficacy (i.e., that people believe they can do what they need to do in order to attain things that are important to them; Bandura, 1994; Pajares, 2002).
