Augmentative and alternative communication training programs and their impact on teachers working in schools for learners with special education needs

The following dataset is in twofold:
Firstly, an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) training experiment conducted in South Africa.
Secondly, published articles of AAC training programs for teachers in special schools internationally. The dataset speaks directly to the training of teachers working with learners with complex communication needs using AAC intervention programs. The experiment was conducted amongst teachers in South Africa and the changes were observed by analysing the mean and standard deviation. The published articles were analysed using their descriptive information e.g authors, place of publication and aim of the study. Furthermore, the pushlished articles were analysed using the population, intervention (training) and outcomes (PIO) format.

本数据集分为两个部分：首先，系南非地区进行的一项辅助与替代沟通（AAC）训练实验；其次，收录了国际特殊学校教师所使用的AAC培训项目的已发表文章。该数据集直接关涉于利用AAC干预项目对具有复杂沟通需求的学童进行培训的教师培训。实验在南非的教师群体中展开，通过对均值和标准差的统计分析来观察变化。已发表文章的分析基于其描述性信息，例如作者、出版地点和研究目的。此外，对已发表文章的分析采用了人群、干预（培训）和结果（PIO）格式。
