TEACh subtest	Type of attention	Task description
Sky search	Sel-VA	Children were required to find and circle visual targets among other visual distractors in an A3 paper.
Score	Sus-AA	Children had to count sounds with long irregular gaps in between the sounds.
Sky search dual task	Div-AVA	Children had to repeat the visual task of the Sel-VA subtest, while simultaneously count sounds like they did in the Sus-AA subtest, with the difference being that the gap in between the sounds was now fixed and shorter than previously.
Score dual task	Div-AA	Children were required to count sounds, as they did in the Sus-AA task, while simultaneously find one target word in each of the news reports that were being played.
