Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is an umbrella term for a group of
developmental conditions which are characterised by difficulties in communication, social interaction
and flexible thinking and behaviour. There are often sensory differences and the condition is pervasive
in nature.

Structured teaching based on TEACCH (Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication Handicapped
Children) principles.
