Diversity Paper

Each student is required to write a 3-to 5-page paper about individual and cultural diversity issues when treating individuals with autism spectrum disorders. Students are to research areas of diversity and how interventions are influenced by issues such as religion, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, physical disabilities, etc. Students may also chose to write their papers on how different family factors influence interventions. These family factors include (but are not limited to) how siblings affect interventions, blended families/single parents, extended family factors, etc. Students are required to include information from at least 3 peer reviewed, data-based journal articles. For example, students should look for articles that have researched an intervention and included issues about how diversity may have influenced their study. A student’s paper may focus on a specific issue of diversity (i.e., issues related to implementing interventions with children in a Jewish community center; impact of poverty on ABA in rural schools) or can focus on general diversity issues related to a specific intervention (i.e., impact of ethnicity, socioeconomic status, etc. on floor time interventions). If you have difficulty finding articles about interventions and diversity, you may select a topic that is more general within the field of autism (i.e., diagnosis of autism and diversity), but please do your best to search for literature about interventions. Articles must be data based research articles. Based upon your review of the research and your chosen topic you will need to discuss how issues related to individual and cultural diversity and/or family factors should be considered when developing and implementing treatments. The font for your report must be Times New Roman and no bigger and no smaller than size 12, and your paper should be double-spaced. Margins (top, bottom, right, left) are to be no more and no less than 1 inch. The articles cannot come from newsletters or be summaries found on web pages. You need to follow APA style when writing the report. The report is worth 50 points.
