Project choice and research questions:

A comprehensive literature review of best practices in parent slash caregiver training in ABA (to include a chapter on how human subjects research ethics, laws, and policies apply).

1)      According to the research, what are the benefits of parent involvement in ABA services?

2)      What are some of the research-based strategies used for parent/ caregiver training in ABA?

3)      What does the research say about the effectiveness of parent/caregiver training?

4)      When conducting human subjects research as an investigator, what are the key considerations related to the common rule and the IRB process? (Use a parent-training situation when producing concrete examples)

5)      When conducting human subjects research as an investigator, what are some consequences of failure to adhere to research ethics and human subjects research procedures?

Sources to use for Chapter 3

Chapter 3 for you serves more as a report and not a literature review, as you are reporting on rules and regulations and ethical standards that exist, not on research that was conducted in the field.  Please limit your sources for Chapter 3 to the following. If you come across something else you think is useful, please ask. (you might not even want to use ALL of the below, but all of the below are vetted, quality sources that I would consider reliable).

 

1. Anything you find on NIH.gov
2. Anything you find on HHS.gov
3. The Belmont Report (which can be found here: https://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/regulations-and-policy/belmont-report/read-the-belmont-report/index.html)
4. Anything from APA.org
5. Anything from WHO.int
6. Anything from http://research-ethics.org/

 

I am attaching some articles that I found that I think are worth including and that I feel all meet the criteria for inclusion.  This does not mean you need to use ALL of them, but I think you should probably plan to use at least 7-10 of them

Paper instructions:

Case Study

A well-researched and documented case study of ONE individual (single-subject design) showing interventions and associated impact.

 

Topic:  The role of parent training programs in managing challenging behaviors in children with developmental delays. 

 

 Topic question: What is the impact of parent training programs on managing challenging behaviors in children with developmental delays?

 

The student will

Define a research question, problem, or opportunity for inquiry

Design an appropriate methodology to address the problem/explore the inquiry

Seek IRB approval or provide IRB with appropriate documentation (if applicable)

 Conduct the investigation/intervention

 Report data using text, tables, and graphs as appropriate

 Analyze results of the investigation and draw written conclusions

 Examine DEI issues present in the current study (from the perspective of both participants and

scientists)

 Submit a student paper in APA 7th Edition formatting for student papers that includes a title

page, introduction, literature review, appropriate subheadings/sections, references, and

appendices (if applicable)
