Any topic (writer’s choice)

Please complete this 900 words essay writing (discussion part) from the presentation scratch. The original assessment is a group report, and my teammates have finished their parts. Therefore, dear writer, what you need to do is to summarize the literature review on my part – discussion section of the presentation (last 6 slides). Please kindly see the powerpoint slides for your reference.
Additionally, from my professors feedback on the presentation, we are encouraged to dedicating more words for the implications of practice (i.e., CBT treatment strategies for single parenthood & community/neighborhood related parental monitoring). The relevant references are asserted in those slide notes for your reference.

Lecture Reflection Responses

During the online lectures for the topics of Trait, a writing prompt will be announced. These writing prompts are to encourage watching the online lectures in a timely fashion and reflecting on the material presented. Students will be given a prompt to complete a brief (approximately 1 paragraph) reflection paper on the class material, worth 4 points each. Papers will be scored on the basis of submission (2 points) and correctness and effort engaging with the material (2 points).

discussion post

Prior knowledge and learner development: Concepts and implications

Drawing on concepts from the Ambrose et al. (2010) readings for this week (Chapters 1 and 2) create a visual diagram, table or figure that explains three concepts or principles about prior knowledge, knowledge organization and learner development. Also include a total of two implications for adult educator practice that derive from this group of concepts/principles.

Embed your visual diagram in the discussion and say a little bit about why these concepts and educator practices matter to you.

Parent FAQ ABA

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.
