Autism And Applied Behavioral Analysis
[ send me this research ]
A 5 page paper that discusses the use of applied behavioral analysis with young autistic children. Dr. O. Ivar Lovaas of UCLA pioneered this process in 1987. It is also intermittently referred to as Discrete Trial Training (DTT) because it involves the use of discreet trials that break learning down into very small steps. The writer reports the original study, the follow-up study six years later and a replication study conducted by other investigators. A brief explanation of a critique of other programs used to treat young autistic children is also offered. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

What is 'Literature'
[ send me this research ]
A 6 page analysis that examines the question of what constitutes classical literature as opposed to mere popular fiction. The writer argues that this quality encompasses more then either popularity or use of language, but rather it depends on whether or not the work offers a perspective that radically alters that of the reader. Examples are drawn from Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings; Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird; and Susanna Rosen's Charlotte Temple. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
