Online teacher training to help children using AAC read better
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if online video training for teachers can improve reading skills in children who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), like picture boards or speech-generating devices. It's for children with intellectual disabilities who have their own education plan and need AAC to communicate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
