This is a 5- page paper on a specific topic related to special education or mental disorders. The papers may focus on controversial issues in special education (e.g., inclusion v. self-contained classes), specific problems about which a student wants more in-depth information, such as cutting, eating disorders, Asperger’s disorder, depression, mental retardation, and/or intervention techniques for various disorders. Papers are expected to be well-researched, with a minimum of six articles from refereed journals, at least half of which should be research articles. APA format is required. |
