      Adults living with autism often have difficulty finding information about programs and supports that would allow them to live as independently as possible. Autism Speaks Housing and Adult Services initiative will focus on resources that impact all facets of adult life including employment, housing, and post-secondary education.

      Autism is a serious impact on mental health of children and adults of the disease, its incidence in children has more than childhood cancer, AIDS and diabetes combined, their condition is also a little less than endanger the three diseases. So we need to care for them are doubly, and promote social harmony and healthy development.

      A common question I’ve vbeen asked is whether adults who have not used the TEACCH approach as children can be introduced to TEACCH, or whether it’s unsuitable in adult services.

      My answer is that I have worked with adults and introduced the TEACCH structured teaching approach to people who had reached the age of 25-35 with no experience of TEACCH. As the approach is designed around the individual’s autism, it is very appropriate, and no, it’s never too late!

      Agreed! I have been working with a day service provision for adults with ASDs, learning difficulties and challenging behaviour. Structured teaching approaches have increased independence, vocational skills and vocational behaviours and reduced the number of behaviour incidences.

      Working with adults with autism who display chalenging behaviour implementing a highly structered envoirenment has signifently reduced behaviours. The learner is able to identify segmitised area’s which also can be assoicated with working activities. To break this down into attainable stages a schedule with pictorial pictures breaks it down into stages.From: Simon Clark

      I’d like to share a new book that is useful and an engaging read for those with Aspergers or who are on the spectrum. It’s by John Leonard Hart III. It has interesting insights into managing life and a career with Aspergers.

      Lifebulb that provides therapy for autistic children. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurological illness commonly diagnosed during childhood. ASD cannot be cured, but early detection and effective treatment can significantly improve the lives of many kids. The goal of current ASD therapy is to lessen symptoms that affect everyday life and quality of life. According to the American Psychiatric Association, early diagnosis and provision of suitable interventions and support can significantly enhance a child’s functioning.

      It’s great to hear that you are recognizing the benefits of the TEACCH approach and its focus on individualized support for individuals with autism. It’s important to understand that autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that affects each person differently, and that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to treatment.

      The TEACCH approach is designed to be flexible and adaptable to meet the unique needs of each individual with autism, regardless of their age or level of functioning. So, whether someone is a child or an adult, it’s never too late to benefit from this approach.

      In fact, many adults with autism have found that TEACCH has helped them develop new skills and coping strategies that have improved their quality of life. By providing structured support and tailored interventions, the TEACCH approach can help individuals with autism to improve their communication, social skills, and independence.

      It’s important to remember that every person with autism is different, and what works for one individual may not work for another. However, the TEACCH approach offers a promising framework for supporting individuals with autism and helping them reach their full potential, no matter their age or level of functioning.
