Efficacy of an Early Intervention Program for Preschool Boys: A Two-Group Control Study APA Citation: Golos, A. Sarid, M., Weintraub, N. (2011). Efficacy of an early intervention program for at-risk preschool boys: A two-group control study. American Journal of Therapy, 65, 400-408. doi: 10.5014/ajot.2011.000455. Research Question: There are two research questions in this study. The first question is would the performance of and participation in daily activities of preschool boys identified as at risk for or having delays significantly improve after the intervention. The second question is would the participating children’s performance be significantly better than that of children in a control group. Variables: The dependent variable that
When this class started at the beginning of this semester I was not sure I would learn a lot. The main objectives of this class were fairly simple. There were five main objectives to use and know. They are the following:
The purpose of this paper is to provide you with written instructions on some of the basic guidelines with the new APA format (American Psychological Association, 2009). In addition, this paper is written in APA format to provide you with a visual image of how many aspects of papers should be written, from the title page, to headings, to references in text, and the reference page. This paper is not met to be a comprehensive explanation of APA format, but will provide the reader with the basics. So, please buy the manual and read it.
the appropriate length depends on the journal to which you are submitting, but they are typically
One important aspect I gained by taking the APA quiz is that there is no time frame for plagiarism. Another aspect is that Walden University professors can give you an “F” on a paper that shows plagiarism (Walden University, n.d.). I included this because I thought that should you have plagiarized then the first course of action was to be put on academic probation. I am glad to now know that this is not the case, although I will continue to view this as such to avoid plagiarism in any of my papers.
“The developed world deprives children of a basic and inalienable right: unstructured outdoor play. Children today have substantially less access to nature, less free range, and less time for independent play than previous generations had.” This quote is from the research based paper titled, “Where the Wild Things Should Be: Healing Nature Deficit Disorder through the Schoolyard." This article touches many aspects of how children now a days need more exposure to nature like it was on the older days. Currently, there are many playgrounds around the United States and even more the world. This article is trying to bring awareness to the problem of if playgrounds do not have enough nature or is too safe then it is
Throughout this time, I have seen almost every type of child. In the last few years, however, I have noticed a difference in the grouping of kids at the daycare. These two and three years-olds are constantly being tested by specialists for disabilities, whether it be speech, behavioral, or learning. I also hear first hand from elementary school teachers that there are more disruptive children in the classroom than ever before. Sensory processing disorder is more prevalent now than in the past few years, and more children under the age of five are being tested for the disorder. I have wanted to study this topic for a while now, and this assignment is a perfect opportunity to seek the information I
Education-based intervention and prevention play a crucial role in influencing young children from at-risk communities. Many researchers have concluded that early interventions improve the child’s academic performance, behaviours and learning abilities in the short and long term (McMahon, Washburn, Felix, Yakin & Childrey, 2000). Based on developmental and social theories, the child’s experiences in the earlier years have great impact on their future achievement. In turn, the foundation of a child’s academic success is formed at a very young age, before they enter the school system (Ansari & Gershoff, 2015). Intervention strategies that target young children, have a greater impact for future development since they provide them with guidance,
The Abbott Preschool Program is administered through New Jersey’s Department of Education and the Department of Human Services. It was designed to provide all of New Jersey’s children an opportunity to succeed. The Abbott Preschool Program Longitudinal Effect Study (APPLES), published in 2013, investigated the impact of the Abbott program on children’s learning through the end of kindergarten. The findings of this study demonstrated that children who attend the Abbott Preschool Program, whether in public schools, private settings or Head Start, improve in language, literacy, and math at least through the end of their kindergarten year.
Jamie Anderson, SFU Surrey Library August 1, 2006 The APA Manual should be your main source of information for citing sources, but this addendum was put together to cover several types of electronic sources which are not covered by the APA. Here’s what the guide covers: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Webpages Blogs Online Journal Articles Online Encyclopedias and Dictionaries Email Online Images The TECH 100 text Teamwork and Communication
I share the same concerns on my writing as you. The APA guidelines are a continuing source of learning of rime. It is a goal of mine to master the APA guidelines. Regarding the course writing assignments I appreciate the Rubics. It serves as a map for me when I am completing my writing assignments. The Rubic also helps with the flow of my papers. When I am writing my assignments I approach my paper as a puzzle and allow the Rubics to serve as my guide. It is easier and less complicated for me to research, write and compile my paper. It may sound a little off but the process works for me. The information in the APA writing guide is extremely helpful. I am able to answer questions regarding my writing by referring the APA writing guide (APA,
There were four first-time kindergarten students in the study that received the intervention, three girls and one boy. Two of the students were black, and two of the students were black. One girl was an English Language Learner. None of the students were receiving special education services. There students were chosen to participate because they were not responding well to the curriculum and not improving.

Even though some may believe that disadvantaged students may get socially abused in a preschool type program, the social development of the disadvantaged child can be one of the most influential effects that these programs can have on the student. Any one person can tell from experience that children who have any type of disadvantage tend to be either secluded from the rest of society or to be more antisocial and isolated. In a study called the Ypsilanti Perry Preschool
