A systematic review conducted by researchers at National Taiwan Normal University explored the effects and key components of in-service special education teacher training in evidence-based practices (EBPs) for students with autism and developmental disabilities. The review identified six essential components of training programs, including didactic presentation, live modeling, video modeling, practical exercise, performance feedback, and on-site coaching.

The research provides recommendations for effective professional development for special education teachers. [Extracted from the article]
