Training

We are committed to sharing our experience and expertise with other professionals, parents and anyone wanting to learn more about supporting young people with complex autism. Our specialist autism training courses are available to our staff members, as well as parents and other professionals in the autism community.

TEACCH training

TEACCH is an evidence-based approach to learning for people of all ages on the autistic spectrum. It is at the very heart of our approach and we have strong links with the University of North Carolina where TEACCH originated. We are the only organisation outside the United States to offer the Beyond the Basics advanced TEACCH training course.

Our staff are vital to our young people's success and we aim to equip them with our specialist autism knowledge so they can provide the best possible care for our young people. An exceptional number of our staff are TEACCH-trained, while two staff are TEACCH Certified Advanced Consultants (around 30% of the UK's total TEACCH Certified Advanced Consultants).

We offer two levels of TEACCH training course:

3 Day Structured Teaching - Based on the TEACCH Model - a three day introduction to the theory and practical applications of structured teaching, delivered by Prior's Court TEACCH Certified Advanced Consultants and Practitioners
Beyond the Basics: Advanced Applications of TEACCH - a stimulating and motivational three-day course providing the next step in the pathway to attaining TEACCH certified practitioner accreditation led by trainers from the 'TEACCH Autism Program', University of North Carolina.
