Issues in Childhood and Adolescence

Review Papers:

Students will write a three to five page double-spaced paper. Students should select at least two research articles in scholarly journals to reference in their paper.  The paper should address classification, assessment, and treatment of the disorder.  Papers should be written in APA format and the title/reference pages should not be included in the three to five page limit.
A list of the disorders:
1.    Mental Retardation
2.    Communication Disorders
3.    Pica

•    Some of these disorders are further broken down (i.e., Communication Disorders are broken down into Expressive Language Disorder, Mixed Receptive-Expressive Language Disorder…).  Chose only one of the disorders that fall into that category of disorders (i.e. Expressive Language Disorder) and write about that.
