Autism therapy - A bridge to life or "forced adjustment"?

Intensive therapy over several years is indicated for the severity, the complexity and the autism-specific change difficulties. As different as the disorder can be, the therapeutic approach must also be flexible. So far, no single therapeutic method has provided satisfactory approaches for all areas of this very complex disorder.

Central to the special autism therapy are approaches that have been specially developed for people with autism (e.g. TEACCH , Picture Exchange Communication System), autism-specific forms of perception promotion and "social empathy", behavioral therapy, music therapy, curative education and family therapy methods

Some autism-specific therapy approaches are briefly presented below.

ΓΌ  TEACCH

You often go to normal schools without being recognized, where "normal" behavior is expected from you. And here at the latest they stand out due to their strange social behavior.

The TEACCH approach (Treatment and Education of Autistic and Related Communication Handicapped Children: "Therapy and educational support for autistic and similarly communication-disabled children") is an educational approach that mainly focuses on the strengths of people with the autism spectrum. Disturbances in the visual-spatial area as well as their preferences for structured activities or special interests are concentrated.

The structuring takes place via plans, color coding of objects, timepieces, and structured tasks such as “basket tasks or shoebox tasks”.

Promotion of communication with picture cards based on the Picture Exchange Communication System approach

Using this method enables individuals to understand and practice communication in a social context. People who use the Picture Exchange Communication System learn, intrinsically motivated, to communicate with the help of picture or symbol cards. For example, an image of an object or of a desired action is given as an exchange for this object or this action.
