Abstract

This study looked at how well visual task evaluation helped teenagers with autism and intellectual disabilities become more competent at car washing. For disabled people to promote their independence and employment chances, car washing skills are crucial. The goal of this study was to ascertain whether training techniques that include visual task evaluation can improve car washing proficiency in teenagers with autism and intellectual disabilities. 30 participants, ranging in age from 12 to 18, participated in a pre-test/post-test design. Randomly chosen groups of participants were put into the evaluation group for the visual task or the control group. According to the findings, the visual task evaluation group outperformed the control group in terms of car washing ability. Adolescents with autism and intellectual disabilities can learn skills more quickly and become more independent by including visual task evaluation into their teaching strategies. These results demonstrate the potential for such treatments to enhance their quality of life and employment chances.
