Prior’s Court and Structured Teaching
Prior’s Court is a provider of education and residential care for autistic young people with complex needs aged 5 to 25.
Structured Teaching is based on the TEACCH approach – world-renowned for its effectiveness in supporting autistic people.
The TEACCH programme aims to enable autistic people to function as meaningfully and as independently as possible in the community.
TEACCH is at the heart of the Prior’s Court approach.

Content of the courses
We are fortunate to have more than 40% of the UK’s TEACCH Certified Advanced Consultants, who will be leading and shaping the content of this course.
The principles of Structured Teaching are:
- Understanding the learning styles of autistic individuals and how to use strategies that support these.
- Developing an individualised plan of learning built on assessment and understanding of skills and strengths.
- Structuring the physical environment to make expectations clear.
- Using schedules to visually show a young person where they are going throughout their day.
- Using work/activity systems to visually show a young person what to do, how much is expected, when they will finish and what happens next.
- Using visual information to make activities understandable.
