For this assignment you will gather resources to use when crafting your final
Research Project. Locate five resources that address your approved topic and
summarize your findings.

The five resources must include:
• Two scholarly/peer-reviewed research articles from an academic journal.
• One other primary resource: an article written by a professional

organization or expert in the field, resources provided by .edu or .gov
websites, etc.

• Two audio/video resources that best illustrate the language disorder
you are examining.

Each written resource must be accompanied by a summary that includes the following:

• URL link to the resource
• Date of the publication
• Author
• Hypothesis of the study
• Discussion of the overall method
• Results and conclusions of the study
• Limitations and recommendations for future studies

For each Video include the following:

• URL link to video
• Date of the video
• Source/author of the video
• Brief discussion of how this video typifies the behaviors, speech and

language of the disorder.
• Brief examination of the potential limitations of the video as to how

well it represents this population.

Guidelines:
• Be sure to cite appropriately following APA guidelines for

referencing and paraphrasing that may be included in your work.
• List the articles according to APA format and provide the URL links

for your instructor to access.
• Include an APA formatted Reference Page as the last page in your assignment.
