Address :
I am an autism consultant. I come into the home to assist parents and children with day to day activities and challenges. I use the TEACCH Model and keep current by attending advanced training annually.
What is the TEACCH Model?
TEACCH focuses on the traits and characteristics of autism and the strengths of the individual. Treatment and Education of Autistic and Communication related handicapped CHildren is a competency-based model for teaching children and adults with autism. Learning activities are structured for success rather than failure. To learn more go to: http://teacch.com/about-us-1/what-is-teacch
How can I help?
Through this structured teaching model we can build communication, self-care, vocational skills, and recreation/leisure skills.
Structured teaching is errorless learning. Work systems are highly individualized, taught by me, and then implemented in the home.
How do we begin?
I begin by listening to you. We’ll discuss your concerns for your child in your home or in school. I will ask about his/her areas of needs, strengths, likes and dislikes.
Together we will choose a goal to work on first.
Then, we’ll organize the environment for meaning and attention; schedule the day for success; and create work systems to sequence steps of tasks.
