Answers will vary but may include the following:Visual schedules can be used to illustrate what activity is taking place, specify what activity will occur next, indicate when an activity is finished, or to identify any changes that might occur in the regular schedule.Visuals can also be used to structure the environment to help children with ASD function more independently.You can use images, symbols, and words to represent specific places where items belong, or you can put labels on shelves and drawers to help with cleanup.Visual schedules provide structure, predictability, and orderliness in the environment, and they can help provide a sense of stability for children with ASD. Visual scripts are another form of visual supports that are effective with young children with ASD.Visual scripts are written scenarios or examples that young children can use to initiate conversations or interactions with others. Also, visual reminder cards (e.g., visually representing classroom expectations on a poster board with photographs or drawings) can help children learn acceptable and unacceptable behaviors.Finally, a visual task analysis can provide step-by-step support to help children with ASD complete tasks independently (e.g., brushing teeth), and can be especially helpful for children who forget or confuse the order of a multi-step process or who become easily distracted.

She randomly selects 11 subjects and has each of them write Form A and Form B) She computes the correlation between the forms to be + .80. At a = .05, use a non-directional alternative to test her claim that the two forms measure the same thing. Note: tcrit = ± 2.262. What is your statistical decision?
