Abstract
Several intervention approaches for young children with ASD utilize visual supports and structure to promote engagement and learning. The TEACCH approach, developed in the 1970s, has a specific approach for very young children with ASD and success supporting parents. Other visually based or augmentative approaches are helpful to promote communication and social interaction. These approaches are described with examples for implementation with young children.
