Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of Treatment and Education of Autistic and Related Communication Handicapped Children (TEACCH) on social functioning in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
Methods: Relevant studies on TEACCH intervention in ASD individuals were systematically searched in PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang from inception to March 2024. The main outcome measures were social, cognitive performance, fine motor, communication, daily living, imitation, and cognitive verbal skills. Data were meta-analyzed using R studio (4.1.2).
Results: Eleven studies involving 701 ASD individuals were included in this study. The TEACCH group had significantly higher socialization score [MD = 0.6, 95% CI(0.2, 1.0)], Cognitive Performance Scale score [MD = 1.34, 95% CI(0.09, 2.58)], and fine motor score [MD = 0.7, 95% CI(0.4, 1.0)] but significantly lower Autism Behavior Checklist score [MD = -1.57, 95% CI(-2.11, -1.02)], Childhood Autism Rating Scale score [MD= -0.7, 95%CI(-1.0, -0.3)], and Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist score [MD= -0.7, 95% CI(-1.0, -0.3)] compared to the control group. There were no significant differences in other outcome measures.
Conclusion: TEACCH is a promising intervention for improving the social skills, cognitive performance, and fine motor functions of ASD individuals. However, further studies are warranted to confirm the effectiveness of TEACCH on ASD core symptoms.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and social communication disorder (SCD) are neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by deficits in social communication that hinder social adaptation, with limited pharmacological options for therapy owing to the absence of identified biomarkers. Individuals with ASD or SCD require lifelong interventions tailored to their development stages. However, most existing interventions primarily focus on early childhood, leaving adolescents relatively underserved.
