Abstract:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) includes a group of developmental disabilities characterized by patterns of delay and deviance in the development of social, communicative, cognitive skills and the presence of repetitive and stereotyped behaviors as well as restricted interests. The Treatment and education of autistic and related communication handicapped children (TEACCH) [ ] showed good results in motor skills, cognitive performances, social functioning and communication when compared to standard interventions. To the best of our knowledge, no longitudinal observation study has been published regarding the efficacy of the TEACCH after a long period of treatment.
