Please read the Bozkus-Genc, et al. (2016) article regarding PRT and complete the Parent FAQ as described below.
There is a total of four Parent FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) assignments throughout the semester. You will imagine you are working in a setting that serves children on the Autism Spectrum. Your imagined setting might be a clinic, a public school, a private practice, in-home treatment, etc. Each FAQ will reference the article (s)/Chapter (s) within the corresponding module on Canvas. For each FAQ, the student is responsible for:
reading the article (s)/Chapter (s)
preparing a 3-4 page, double-spaced FAQ/answer document related to one of the interventions (this could be a group/type of intervention) covered in the module.
FAQ areas may pertain to one or more of the following (at least 1 of your FAQ questions should involve diversity):
a clear description of your chosen intervention from the module readings,
information about the possible child presenting needs which may respond to your chosen intervention from the module reading,
a clear summary of the research support for your chosen intervention,
information about possible child presenting needs which may NOT respond readily to your chosen intervention,
any diversity related knowledge found in the readings.
Please be creative and consider your very own FAQ questions based on the module readings. Try to imagine questions parents might ask about your chosen intervention.
Feel free to have a bit of fun with this assignment.
You might add a brief description of your imagined treatment site/public school.
You might add a few pictures/graphics if you wish but this is not required.
Just be sure to cover the basics of the intervention (e.g., overall description, best population for the intervention) before covering more obscure questions.
You should cover at least 5 FAQ questions/answers of your choosing. (at least 1 of your FAQ questions should involve diversity) More details about assignment expectations are listed in the rubric on Canvas. Each Parent FAQ is worth 35 points.
It is best to label them, for example:
FAQ 1: list the question, then answer the question
FAQ 2: list the question, then answer the question, ect…
More details about assignment expectations are listed in the rubric on Canvas. Each Parent FAQ is worth 35 points.
