effect of an intensive group therapy program for young adults who stutter: a
single subject study. International Journal Of Speech-Language Pathology,
11(1), 12-19.

Be
sure it is not the same study that you used in any of the Discussions in this
class, and be sure it was published in the past 10 years. First, briefly
summarize the study for the class (subjects, method, results, conclusions,
etc.). Then, using the Horner et al. (2005) article, provide a detailed
discussion of whether or not the study meets each element of all seven criteria
given for a quality single subject research study. Use Table 1 on p. 174 of the Horner et al. (2005)
article to organize your paper. Discuss one element at a time: there are seven
major headings and 21 bullet points in Table 1, so your paper should have seven
section headings, with each section containing the same number of paragraphs as
there are bullet points for that section in Table 1.

In
your paper, be sure to provide a clear determination of the following:

1. 
The full-text citation to your article.

2. 
A discussion of all the criteria of a
quality single subject study that were described in the article from your
reading this week and whether or not your study meets these criteria.

3. 
Provide a clear rationale as to why the
study meets quality standards for each of the criteria listed above, with
sufficient references and citations to the text to support your assertions.

Be
sure to use APA style throughout, with a minimum of 3-5 pages in total.

The
paper should:

· 
Follow Assignment directions (review
grading rubric for best results).

· 
Use correct APA formatting per the APA
Publication Manual, 6th Edition.

· 
Demonstrate college-level communication
through the composition of original materials in Standard American English.

· 
Be written in Standard American English
and be clear, specific, and error-free. If needed, be sure to use the Kaplan
University Writing Center for help.
