Child Sexual Abuse

This assignment is designed to encourage you to relate your learning in human development to “real-life” issues faced by people.  You will select one of the “life circumstances” that follows (for example: “your child is diagnosed with ADHD”).  Once you have your life circumstance, you are to research in-depth how it will affect your development.  When appropriate, focus on the challenges facing you as a parent or educator, and facing your child. (for example, if your child is diagnosed with ADHD, what affect does this have on the entire family?  How does it affect your child’s social development, intellectual development, emotional development, etc?).Your project should be 8—10 pages not including cover sheet and reference page, typewritten, double-spaced, one-inch margins, referenced in APA format, and written in first person.  It will be important to incorporate a current literature review (this means no sources more than 10 years old, unless it is a classic source).  Remember, this is a research paper, not an opinion paper, and sources should be cited within your paper.  Other appropriate references include books, reasonable websites, and personal interviews.  This project is worth 100 points.
