        -the way the room is physically set up for daily activities like eating, playing and classwork should be separated by defined barriers.
2.  Consistent schedule
        -displayed through visual means using pictures or drawings.  3. Student work 
        -promote independence and communicate objects with student with a minimum of written instructions.  
4. Routine
         -sticking to the student’s routine as much as possible is essential to this method and an important part of helping a student with autism be successful in the classroom.
5. Visual Structure

All of the students made gains in social, communication, and fine-motor skills regardless of the teaching model used. They have concluded there were no differences found between the models regrading students progress over time.

Some limitations to this study are only high quality classrooms were used leading to a question of whether the data can be generalized and students naturally make progress regardless of methods used. These programs also have many commonalities so the results of the data could be based on this instead of focusing on how these programs differ.

In a study that focused on the comprehensiveness of ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) or TEACCH as well as special educators preferences towards these particular models researchers concluded there was not a clear preference among educators but did find "significantly higher level of social validity for components inherent in both approaches".  

This would lead one to believe both approaches have strong evidence based components that have significant impacts on individuals with autism.
