Discuss how article findings are generalizable to your client population and What you will do differently (if this is the case) to better serve your clients.

Research Paper

Briefly describe what your agency does to help its clients and your role is in that helping process.

Choose and describe a problem / issue that keeps coming up at your agency and needs a better intervention. This may be violence, truancy, high dropout rate, low grades, ADHD in school students, depression, addiction, family reunification, early / unplanned pregnancy, etc.

At the end of the introduction section, list your research question. An example of research question may be, “What are evidence-based interventions for young adults with schizophrenia?” “What are best practices to help homeless mothers?” “What is the effectiveness of the 12-step program for substance users?,” or “How to prevent truancy in middle school?”

Section II. Summarize 2 articles (2 pages each)

Find 2 articles from peer-reviewed journals published within 7 years that tested an intervention to resolve your client’s issue at Rutgers Libraries https://rutgers.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/search?vid=01RUT_INST:01RUT&lang=en (Links to an external site.)

In your summary of each article, be sure to answer the following questions:

Population (age, gender, ethnicity, economic status, urban / rural population) and study size;

What intervention was studied, when, and for how long.

What research design was used (qualitative, quantitative, longitudinal / short term, randomized / control groups, ABA, case study, meta-analysis, etc.).
Describe method of study (questionnaire, interview, 10 weeks of therapy, focus groups, etc.).

Describe research findings listed in the article (include statistics);
Limitations of the study.

Discuss how article findings are generalizable to your client population and
What you will do differently (if this is the case) to better serve your clients.

There are huge numbers of people with learning disabilities, attentional problems and emotional disturbances, all happening at once. How might you design such a course?

“Exceptional”

Your paper, would be to describe in detail how a college online course (such as this one) could be better created and or adapted to meet the needs of a variety of exceptional people. You may wish to center on persons with Mild intellectual disability, ASD, persons with ADHD or perhaps people with a combination of “atypical abilities”. There are huge numbers of people with learning disabilities, attentional problems and emotional disturbances, all happening at once. How might you design such a course?

Describe the process you used in locating them. Who did you contact? Are the services adequate? Describe ideas for improving the services. If you could, how would you change things in your community?

Service Project
SPED 849 Partnerships with Families of Exceptional Children
Service Project Assignment- 100 points

When writing the 3 page paper and the brochure please find reference in the Kansas City area. Thanks!
Rationale

Families of children with exceptionalities often need or could benefit from community services but are either unaware of them or do not know how to access them.

Often educators are in the same situation and are not knowledgeable about services available in the community.

The purpose of this assignment is for the candidate to gain an understanding of a specific community service that could benefit families of children with exceptionalities.

After researching the area identified by the candidate from the approved list, the candidate will complete a project that describes the services available and explain how to access them.

The final project should be informational and worthy of publication.

Part One (75 pts)

Prepare a 3 page paper; first research the topic and then outline the services you have identified in your community.

Describe the process you used in locating them. Who did you contact? Are the services adequate? Describe ideas for improving the services. If you could, how would you change things in your community?

This paper is to be submitted to the designated drop-box posted on Canvas by . (Refer to the rubric for expectations)

Part Two (25 points)

Prepare a one-page brochure outlining the services, include the names of contact people, addresses, and phone numbers.

This document is to be informative and professionally designed so it could be publicly distributed.

Candidates may post their brochures for all members of the class to view in Canvas by July 27 at 11:59 pm.

Choose your research topic from the list of situations that could confront a family in your school. UPDATE: You do not have to choose a different topic from others.

My topic: You are the parent of a child, diagnosed with ADHD who has serious problems in school and the legal system.

Identify a theory that uses a concept of interest to you that can be applied in research and nursing practice (clinical, education, or administration).

Nursing theory

Identify a theory that uses a concept of interest to you that can be applied in research and nursing practice (clinical, education, or administration).

This is a professional paper in which headings, full sentences, paragraphs, correct grammar and punctuation, and correct citation of sources are required.

The theory you select will be the same theory used for each assignment in the future modules.

Theory Description:
Provide a brief description of the theory using an original source or as close to the original source as possible.

Include a brief discussion of the origins of the theory and the scope/level (grand, middle range, practice/situation specific) of the theory.

Identify the major concepts of the theory and discuss how they are related (propositions). Pick two of the concepts, including your concept of interest, and state theoretical definitions of these concepts.

Style & Format:

The paper will be written using APA standards. The paper will include a title page (using specified format), 2-3 pages of text, and a reference

list. It will be double-spaced, written in 12-point Times New Roman font, and have 1-inch margins. Professional and orderly presentation of ideas (precision, clarity, format, headings, grammar, spelling, & punctuation) with appropriate citation of sources in text and reference list is required. Up to 0.5 points will be deducted for each type of grammar, spelling, punctuation, or format error.

Submission Instructions:

Only primary sources and empirical research articles are to be used for this assignment. Secondary sources such as, textbooks, literature reviews, systematic reviews, dissertations and concept analyses are NOT to be used.

Submit as a Word document.
