Research Paper

APA format!!!!

Research Topic: Comparing two different motor programming approaches: Nuffield Dyspraxia Program (NDP3) and Rapid Syllable Transitions (ReST) to improve speech production in children with childhood apraxia of speech.
It would be using a pre-test and post-test design with 2 different groups of participants.
Must be original, not plagiarized, and different from anything else published like it.
Attached is a sample paper on a different topic for the same class. 

Chapter I Review of the Literature
Introduction: This is your first subheading. Introduce the topic overall in your first paragraph; then, follow with a “roadmap” paragraph which starts off with one sentence about the purpose of your particular study and then tells the reader what will be presented in the review of the literature.
This entire section should be no more than 2-3 paragraphs

Subheadings Particular to your Topic Area; HEART OF LITERATURE REVIEW; remember, as you review the literature, you start out broad and then narrow your topics to be closer to the specific area related to your study. THINK OF A FUNNEL! References must be presented to support the information you are citing throughout this section of the paper. This section should be about 8 -20 pages, depending upon the availability of research in the topic area you are investigating. AND THERE SHOULD BE SEVERAL SUBHEADINGS RELATED TO THE AREAS YOU ARE DISCUSSING.
Subheadings for my paper should include the Nuffield Dyspraxia Program (NDP3), Rapid Syllable Transitions (ReST), typical speech production, motor programming, and childhood apraxia of speech.
Summary and Rationale: This needs to be a SUMMARY of the literature you have presented in the body of paper (literature review). Needs to be in YOUR OWN WORDS, NO CITING OF REFERENCES. NO NEW INFORMATION SHOULD BE INTRODUCED IN THIS SECTION. At this point, you are building a case for conducting your proposed study. This is a SUMMARY of the important points you have discussed in your literature review. Then you use the summary to provide a clear rationale or reason for why you are conducting your particular study.
This section should be no more than 2-3 pages.

Plan of Study and Experimental Questions/Hypotheses: This is the conclusion of your literature review (Chapter I). You present a paragraph briefly describing your particular study followed by the specific and definitive experimental questions or hypotheses you are going to answer with your 
study.
No longer than a half-page to a page.

Chapter II Proposed Method
Participants: clear description of participants, how selected, all criteria Pre-experimental testing: description of any tests or testing you are conducting to select participants

General Information: where participants were recruited from, where they will be tested, Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval information of the study, length of protocol or Testing (your study), how many sessions or time you will need to complete study for each participant.

Experimental Testing: presentation of the exact materials, procedures, equipment (if appropriate) for your study. HERE YOU ARE ONLY DISCUSSING THE MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES FOR THE ACTUAL STUDY; do NOT include description of PRE- EXPERIMENTAL TESTS OR PROCEDURES.

Materials: the actual stimuli of your study…can be toys, pictures, tests, new protocols, etc. if it is a test or materials already published, you need to include the appropriate citation.

Procedures: exactly how the study will be carried out for each participant. THE EXPERIMENTAL STUDY. Be very specific.

Equipment: Description of any equipment used and how used in study as appropriate; include citation as appropriate. You may not have any equipment. Entire Chapter should be about 2-5 pages depending upon complexity of your study.

Chapter III Design and Analysis of Study
Reliability: depending on study and use of operational definitions as needed, you may need to report reliability information…here report HOW it will be conducted (discussed in class)

Design: Describe the design of the study (e.g., randomized; single subject, two group; etc).; tell how many variables, both between and within subject variables, and how many levels within each variable.

Analysis: WHAT IS GOING TO BE SPECIFICALLY ANALYZED? (what are you Measuring: that is, the DEPENDENT VARIABLE(S)); how is the data to be analyzed (e.g., parametric, nonparametric, effect size (if needed); which specific statistic; post hoc test, if appropriate). Should follow along with your experimental questions. Remember you will probably have more than one analysis, statistical test, because you will have more than one experimental question.
This Chapter should be no more than 2 pages.

Background

At the end of this Team Assignment you will submit a paper entitled, Report to the Board: What will be the Human Resources Priorities in 2025? All students will be assigned to teams that will prepare a final paper and presentation.

Prompted in part by the ideas presented for the technology innovation project, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors has become increasingly concerned about the ability to identify, recruit, and retain the appropriate skill mix for the organization. The CEO has designated an interdisciplinary team and asked it to prepare an analysis of current trends and their impact on the organization’s human resources in 2025.

Team Report (20 Percentage Points)

The Team Report, using the 7th edition of the APA style manual, is to include two separate papers.

1.  Detailed Paper to be submitted to the CEO
2.  Briefing Paper to be delivered to the BOD

Detailed Paper

1.  Identifies and discusses the macro-trends affecting the future of the US healthcare system, including such aspects as the overall economy, demographics, personal lifestyles and behaviors, technology (including biotechnology and smart phones), and federal and state government policies. Note that these factors are neither exhaustive nor are they offered as a mandatory framework; your research will identify macro-trends relevant to your findings.
2.  Use the above analysis, identify five (5) career opportunities that healthcare leaders will have to be aware of, address, or pursue in 2025. Be sure to explicitly link each job opportunity with the specific trends identified in your analysis.
3.  A minimum of five (5) references to independent research journals, official government sources, or non-vested technical reports must be incorporated and cited using 7th edition of the APA style manual.
4.  Be sure to support your conclusions with appropriate source material. Conclusions are not just “your opinion.” Each conclusion must be clearly linked to eternally valid sources of information.
5.  Prepare your essay in MS Word with 1-inch margins on all sides, double-spaced and 12 pt. Times New Roman font; and upload it to the assignment folder. A title sheet, abstract, body of the paper, and reference list are all required for this paper. Please note that the 10 to 12 page limit applies to the body of the paper.

Briefing Paper

Overall, a Briefing Paper is usually one to two pages. However, some Briefs may be including many pages. There are no hard and fast rules regarding length. Similarly, the format of a Briefing Paper may consist of an outline, bullet lists, text, or a combination of text and bullets. Although, content or topics and their length can vary in a Brief. For the Team Project, make sure your Team’s Briefing Paper is responsive to the four points listed below. Do not be concerned with length. Thus, your Team should aim to provided complete responses in the fewest number of pages (i.e., 2 pages)

1. Background and Purpose of the Team Project (see 1 under Team Report, above)
2. Key Objectives or Questions to be Answered (see 2 under Team Report, above)
3. Major Findings and Conclusions
4. Recommendations and/or Action Steps

The Presentation Instructions (7 Percentage Points)

1.  Condense the findings of your paper to a brief presentation for delivery to the BOD.
2.  Much of today’s communication is done through a variety of electronic tools made available through the internet. E-mails, texting, interactive web sites, cloud technology (like Google Drive), video chats, and social media are all important in how we communicate. The challenge of your Presentation is to communicate the basic findings of your team’s paper to your classmates, your Professor, and your intended audience through the use of a virtual presentation tool; as if your Team was reporting your findings to a global audience of people located in thousands of different locations around the world.
3.  The Presentation must be designed to be “asynchronous.” This means, just like our Discussions Board, it can be viewed at any time as a self-contained presentation without the direct participation of any team member.
4.  While Prezi and Google Sites are specific examples of the kind of virtual tools your Team might use, each team is strongly encouraged to explore, experiment, and creatively use the best tool available for communicating their findings. Simply sending a recorded PowerPoint Presentation to everyone as an e-mail attachment will not meet the requirements for this assignment.
