The effectiveness of TEACCH-based interventions in improving adaptive skills in children with autism spectrum disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Treatment and Education of Autistic and Related Communication Handicapped Children (TEACCH) intervention has been adopted globally for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Although previous studies have investigated the effectiveness of TEACCH-based interventions for children with ASD, the impact of various experimental designs and participants' characteristics remains unclear. To address this, a systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to examine the effectiveness of TEACCH-based interventions in improving different skills, reducing ASD severity, and decreasing parental stress across different study designs and children's characteristics.
