Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to Improve Educators Self-Acceptance of Children with Special Needs
Overview
This experimental study investigates the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in enhancing self-acceptance among 27 educators working with children with special needs. Using a one-group pretest-posttest design, the authors found that while self-acceptance scores increased after the training, the change was not statistically significant. The resource concludes that ACT alone is less effective for this purpose and suggests follow-up direct assistance in school settings.
