Overview
So I am focusing my research paper on VB-MAPPs and why they are used so much in ABA and espeically for early intervention. I am including a short rought draft of the paper with some references.
Students will write a 6-9 page literature review on an intervention or assessment model from one area of study discussed in this class. Students will review at least 5 research articles on the chosen topic. Topics should be approved by the instructor and must be related to this class. Research papers should include a review of the content of the research studies, as well as the quality of the research itself. Information should be synthesized to evaluate the effectiveness of the model addressed as opposed to simply summarizing each article independently. Articles chosen must be research articles (not reviews) from peer reviewed journals. Students should conclude with a statement about the effectiveness of the model, based on the research reviewed. Papers must follow APA format (abstract and table of contents will not be needed for this paper).
