The program has received a grant from the State to implement a new training program. The primary goal of the training program is to improve clients work skills so that they can move from a sheltered work environment to a job in a community setting. A requirement of the grant is to submit a 6-month progress report that assesses the effectiveness of the intervention in improving clients work skills. The first 40 clients who qualify for services through the grant are enrolled in the training program. In order to measure clients work skills, a staff member will ask the client to complete a series of tasks that are common in many community job settings that employ adults with Developmental Disabilities (e.g. bagging groceries, washing dishes, etc). Each task will receive a score and these scores will be summed to generate an overall assessment of client work skills. The scores can range from 0 (very poor work skills) to 40 (excellent work skills). Each client is assessed before and after the intervention. Using an 8-Step Process for Hypothesis Testing Once you have your output, use the 8-step process for hypothesis testing to describe and interpret your findings. Please refer to the research scenario and your SPSS output to answer the questions. Identify the independent variable and level of measurement The independent variable is the new training program and the level of measurement is categorical, nominal. Identify the dependent variable and level of measurement The dependent variable is client work skills (measured with an assessment tool) and the level of measurement is continuous, interval/ratio. State the null hypothesis The null hypothesis is that there is no relationship between the training program and client work skills, specifically there is no difference between the mean pre-test work skills score and the mean post-test work skills score among the clients participating in the program. State the alternative hypothesis The alternative hypothesis is that there is a relationship between the training program and client work skills, specifically there is a difference between the mean pre-test work skills score and the mean post-test work skills score among the clients participating in the program. Identify the appropriate statistical test and alpha level. The appropriate statistical test is the dependent t test and the alpha level is .05 Present table of results (SPSS Output)    Describe results and decision to accept or reject the null hypothesis t(39) = - 7.462, p < .001 Since the p value of < .001 is less then the alpha of .05, we will reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a relationship between the training program and clients work skills (specifically, there is a difference between the mean pre-test work skills score and the mean post-test work skills score among the clients in the program). Provide a discussion of these results. Results of the dependent t test indicated a statistically significant difference between the mean pre-test work skills score and the mean post-test work skills score among the clients participating in the program. Specifically, the mean pre-test work skills score was 12.73 (SD = 4.65), and the mean post-test work skills score was 17.58 (SD = 6.54), indicating that clients work skills improved after 6 months of participation in the training program. These results indicate the potential effectiveness of the training program for DD clients and suggest that the training program should be continued and perhaps expanded to other agency sites. Limitations of this study include the lack of a comparison or control group, which reduces the internal validity of the study. Future evaluations should assess the degree to which clients participating in the training program are able to move from a sheltered work environment to a job in a community settingsince this is a stated program goal. For clients who remain in the training program, a re-assessment of their work skills should be performed after 12 months of participation in the program to determine if there is additional improvement in client work skills.
