dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge level and attitudes of general education teachers across the United States relative to augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). A nationwide online survey was conducted of general education teachers. Participants were 950 general education teachers who taught grades preschool-12 from 12 states. Results demonstrated that general education teachers have somewhat limited knowledge and experience with AAC and have generally positive attitudes toward having students with disabilities in their classrooms. The majority of teachers expressed that they desired more training in the area of AAC to better serve their students. | en_US |
