- Theoretical perspective and basis of the intervention;
- Detailed outline of selected intervention strategy and how it works from beginning to end;
- Benefits and limitations to treatment and use (supported with references);
- Comparison to other strategies currently in use (How is it more or less effective?); and
- Recommendations for future use and further training within that intervention strategy.
Structure
- Required components: Abstract, Title page, and Reference page
- Length of Assignment: The text body of paper (i.e., not including references, title page or abstract) should consist of approximately 2500 words, (i.e., 9/10 double-spaced typed pages, Times New Roman font size: 12).
- Format: Please, format your assignment in Word (files with extension .doc or .docx), or Rich Text Format (files with extension .rtf).
- References: A minimum of 8 relevant research articles should be included. Academic papers require the use of peer-reviewed academic articles to help justify and substantiate opinions.
Resources
Any sources used to support your written narrative should be cited using correct APA format. Although Wikipedia can be a useful starting place to gather very general information no Wikipedia references will be accepted as scholarly citations.
Current references are published within the last 10 years; seminal research that exceeds the 10 years may be included but you must provide current research that further supports the seminal work.
