Practice Domain assignment – Stacy, an autistic 10-year old Case
$10.00Pediatrics – Practice Domain assignment
Description of Assignment
Students will become more familiar with the domains from the OT Practice Framework by selecting one item from each domain and, using their own words, describing each item chosen and giving examples. Students will base their description of the items and examples on the case study assigned to them (see below).
Students will list three professional organizations, community agencies or associations that the parents of children, adults or older adults could call for information or resources; students will provide a brief description of each resource.
Students will conclude their paper with a written script for the 30 second elevator speech, defining / describing what occupational therapy is.
This paper should be two pages.Section 1
Each student will be assigned a developmental age group on which to base his or her paper (i.e., pediatrics, adults, geriatrics). Please use whichever one of the following case studies fits with the developmental age group assigned to you.
Pediatrics
Stacy, an autistic 10-year old, is having difficulty focusing in class. Because of this, she is acting out and throwing tantrums. The teacher is having difficulty keeping Stacy focused and staying calm.
1. Read the case that corresponds to the developmental age group assigned to you.
2. Relate the case to the domains of the OT Practice Framework.
The five domains of OT practice include the areas of occupation, client factors, performance
skills, performance patterns, context and environment. Select one item under each of the six domains. Use your own words to describe each item and give examples.
e.g., If Performance Patterns – Roles were selected the student would write: If I was to determine what client roles were impacted by his or her disability, I would describe the client’s roles as spouse, parent, son or daughter, worker, student, grandparent, etc.Section 2
List three organizations or community agencies that the client (or parents or caregivers) might find useful. Briefly describe the purpose of each of the three resources you provide. Organizations that require membership are unacceptable for this assignment (e.g., American OT Association). Please use entities accessible to the general public.Section 3
Throughout your career, you will answer the following question hundreds of times — “What is occupational therapy?” This part of the assignment is meant to give you a start on coming up with a definition or description of the profession of occupational therapy to help answer that question. Imagine that friends or relatives ask you about occupational therapy; what will you tell them?
End your paper with a written script of a ‘30 second elevator speech’ that defines and/or describes the profession of occupational therapy. This is often called an ‘elevator speech’ because it must be succinct enough that you could start talking when getting on the elevator with the CEO of your hospital on the first floor and finish your explanation of occupational therapy when the elevator door opens at the third floor!Comparison paper – OT Frame of Reference
$17.50As a TEAM, identify a market that your team believe is “oligopolistic” or “monopolistic competition.” Your text can help you with this. You can NOT pick a product that was selected last week or this week by yourself, classmate or another team (well not if you want credit for it anyways).
Tell us why the market you selected meets the criteria of an oligopoly or monopolistic competition. Then tell us what that means for rational business price and production decisions.

Click on the highlighted terms above if you are unclear on this.You may want to also consider issues involving the stability of collusive cartels. Please start with your assigned study teams. If you find yourself solo after Tuesday midnight (C.S.T.) because of team inactivity, you may join with another solo classmate.As always, you will profit by reading and responding to your fellow budding economists’ postings.3 pages

Depression among Elderly People Paper
$40.00Depression among Elderly People
This paper is a 6 to 8 page professional review of research on a topic that is related to adult development or aging. The student should gather information from research publications and put together a logical discussion that provides information on research findings related to that topic.
Do not use interviews or personal experiences in this paper. This is also not a personal reflections paper; just report the research findings you have gathered.
This paper MUST address some aspect of adult development. In fact, issues related to mid- or later life should be the focus of the paper. For example, do not write a paper on domestic violence that either does not address aging couples, or only has brief mention of that fact. The focus of the paper should be on aging and of domestic violence.
Include at least 6-8 references to back up the information presented in your paper.
The following are instructions for gathering appropriate references.
Research Journals: Information should be gathered mostly from research journals.
Books: Do not use books or chapters in books. Stick to research articles published in refereed research journals.
Internet: Some Internet sites may be appropriate sources of information. For example, The American Medical Association, The World Health Organization, or The National Institute of Mental Health are examples of professional Websites.
Avoid personal Websites or Websites run by unknown or questionable organizations.
Avoid:
1. News papers or magazines or any other publication that is a secondary source of information.
2. Do not use the textbook, or any other textbook as a primary reference. Go to the original research article.
3. Never use notes from this class or any other class as a reference.
4. Avoid double citing (Smith as cited by Jones). Go to the original source.
5. Do NOT use interviews, personal experiences, or notes from this or any other class.
6. Do not use pictures, graphs, tables or figures in your paper. Write the information out narratively.
7. Never use Wikipedia as a reference. Do not use other encyclopedias or dictionaries either; the information can be accessed in research articles.The paper should be 6 – 8 pages (not counting the cover page, abstract, and reference page).
Everything should be double spaced.
Use 12 point Times New Roman font throughout the paper, including the cover page and running head.
Italics are used for sub-headings and for journal titles in the reference list
APA guidelines apply. The paper should have a running head and page numbers in the upper right corner, and headings and references should conform to APA format.The paper should have the following components:
Cover page: The cover page includes (1) title of the paper, (2) name of the course and course number, (3) semester and year, (4) author’s (your) name and student ID number, (5) the running head notation per APA guidelines.
Abstract: The abstract appears on the second page by itself. It is 100 words or less and should give a brief description of the topic and the major findings gathered from your review. You can include three or four key words at the bottom of the abstract.
Introduction: The introduction starts on page 3. It is usually about 1/2 page long…no longer than one page. The intro provides a brief description of the topic about to be discussed. This is the “grabber” section of the paper. It should “grab” the reader’s interest in the topic. Provide some information on how serious, or how prevalent, or why the topic is important.
Review of Literature: The review is the body of the paper. For this assignment, it is a review of research on the topic of your choice. This is a professional report of the research and knowledge available on your topic…it is not an opinion paper. No personal opinions or experiences should be included. Every paragraph should have a least one reference to back up the statements. The main points of discussion should be separated and a heading should be used to identify and separate those main points. The discussion should have a smooth and logical flow of information.
Discussion: The discussion is the finishing touch that ties everything together. This section typically is 1/2 to one page long. What were the major findings? Did the authors of the research you reported generally agree, or were the findings mixed? What can you conclude from the literature you reviewed?
References: Start the references on a new page. All references that appear on the list should also appear in the literature review and vice versa. Referencing should follow APA guidelines.
Avoid “direct quotes” even if they are cited correctly. For this assignment, “direct quotes” are not allowed.
