Abstract
Demonstrating the effectiveness of a large and complex programme such as Division TEACCH is difficult. The problem is compounded by the organic basis of autism and the focus of Division TEACCH on lifelong adaptations, which do not lend themselves to superficial cures or clearly defined milestones. Several different measures have been used to address the evaluation questions: research studies on the effectiveness of specific techniques, outcome data, and anecdotal and statistical information about the impact of Division TEACCH. These measures have been collected and described in response to the many people who contact Division TEACCH inquiring how we know we are having a positive impact on people with autism and their families. The combination of empirical data and informal measures is included to provide a comprehensive perspective.Keywords
