Structured teaching - strategies for supporting students with Autism

 Structured teaching is an intervention philosophy developed by the University of North Carolina, Division TEACH (Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication Handicapped Children). Structured teaching is an approach in instructing children with autism. It allows for implementation of a variety of instructional methods (e.g., visual support strategies, Picture Exchange Communication System - PECS, sensory integration strategies, discrete trial, music/rhythm intervention strategies, Greenspan's Floor time, etc.). This presentation will outline some important considerations for structured teaching to occur.  Participants will learn how to implement structured teaching and develop visual schedules.  We will also discuss the two teaching components (work systems and visual structure).  This presentation will have a “make & take” component, in that participants will be provided with all the materials and guidance necessary to create their own visual schedules.
