Description:
Please come help evaluate the academic progress of children with Autism as we hope to determine, when is behavior change enough to be relevant or important? We need a small group of thoughtful undergraduates interested in research participation to do two things. First, examine graphs of student progress and estimate the degree of behavior change and second individually and in small groups discuss if that amount of progress is enough to be considered small, moderate, or substantial learning. This study is about both social validity and statistical significance in a group of individuals vulnerable to inequitable opportunities in school and life.
