Article 1 Mills, C., Chapparo, C., Hinitt, J. (2016). The impact of an in-class sensory activity schedule on task performance of children with autism and intellectual disability: A pilot study. British Journal of Occupational Therapy, 79(9), 530-539. http://doi.org/10.1177/030802216639989 Level of evidence: IIIB3b The purpose of this study was to determine whether sensory activity schedule intervention is effective in supporting participation of children with autism and if it increases their task performance in the classroom. There was no specific theoretical foundation for this study, however multiple studies have previously been completed using sensory based interventions using equipment, but have shown mixed results. The design for this study is a non-concurrent AB single system research design, which can be a mixture of quasi-experimental and non-experimental designs. The dependent variable for this study is sensory processing. The independent variable is the phase in the study because each phase sensory activity schedule changes in each phase. This study consisted of four participants between ages five and seven who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and an intellectual disability. Children were recruited from teacher referrals as they must have d emonstrated movement seeking behaviors in the classroom. The school’s occupational therapist confirmed each participant for the study. It was indicated that children diagnosed with other disabilities wereShow MoreRelatedAn Assessment of the Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Nigerian Society: the Examples of Banking and Communication Industries18990 Words   |  76 PagesAvailable online http://www.universalresearchjournals.org/ujmbr Copyright  © 2012 Transnational Research Journals Full Length Research Paper An assessment of the impact of corporate social responsibility on Nigerian society: The examples of banking and communication industries Adeyanju, Olanrewaju David Department of Financial Studies Redeemer’s University, km 46, Lagos Ibadan Expressway Mowe, Ogun State E-mail: davfol@yahoo.com, Tel No.: 07037794073 Accepted 30 January, 2012 In the NigerianRead MoreDeveloping Effective Research Proposals49428 Words   |  198 PagesKailash-I New Delhi 110 048 British Library Cataloguing in Publication data A catalogue record for this book is available from the British Library ISBN 0 7619 6355 3 ISBN 0 7619 6356 1 (pbk) Library of Congress catalog record available Typeset by Type Study, Scarborough, North Yorkshire Printed in Great Britain by The Cromwell Press Ltd, Trowbridge, Wiltshire previous page page_iii next page Page v Contents List of Figures List of Boxes and Tables Preface 1 Introduction 1.1 Research proposalsRead MoreSocial Stress And Its Impact On The Classroom9865 Words   |  40 Pagesindividual comment, here I will summarize the major changes to guide the Panel’s review. I have kept the longitudinal study, which the entire Panel supported. In response to the Panel’s concerns about the experimental and speed dating studies, I have dropped Studies 1-3 and replaced them with an experimental study that I have now successfully piloted with 50 participants.

The Scientific Method in Daily Life

Question: Discuss how you use this method in your daily life, providing specific examples? Answer: Scientific method while thought to be a domain of exclusively scientific research in fact pervasive in various tasks we achieve in our everyday life. One of the examples in which scientific method can be applied in everyday life is preparation of a particular food dish from the recipe. Hence the objective is to prepare the food dish while we have a standard model in the form of the recipe. We try combination of different ingredients as data and thus evaluate the results obtained by tasting the dish prepared. Further on the basis of the taste (result) of the dish, the recipe may be altered till the goal of preparing the food dish is achieved. Similarly consider another common life situation where a persons objective is to write an article on a particular topic. First the person concerned researches on the internet about the topic so as to gain through knowledge, a process commonly known as literature review. Further based on the literature review a rough draft of the article may be pr epared which serves as the model which would enable the completion of the goal. The draft is self evaluated and responses are sought from friends and experts. These responses serve as data and are aimed towards the fine tuning of the model or the draft. This happens through continuous evaluation of the responses (data) and based on the feedback making changes in the draft which serves as the model. This is done till the final objective is served (Tibbets, 2012). Reference TIbbets, G.G. 2012.
