Le programme TEACCH : des principes à la pratique

The TEACCH Program, created in North Carolina in 1964, was progressively disseminated in France during the 1990s. At first considered with suspicion by certain French psychiatrists, it gradually found its place in the palette of interventions for people with ASD. After a short history of the origin of this program, its theoretical basis is presented: personalized educational plans are designed around each person's individual characteristics, cognitive and sensory-motor functioning but also personality and interests, the goal being independence and social participation. Implementation of the program requires certain conditions that will be addressed in the light of the author's experience.
