Introduction
Autism researchers continue to grapple with activities that best
serve the purpose of fostering positive interpersonal
relationships for children with autism. Children have benefited
from therapy sessions that provide ongoing activities to aid
their ability to engage in healthy social interactions. However,
less is known about how K–12 schools might implement
programs for this group of individuals to provide additional
opportunities for growth, or even if and how school programs
would be of assistance in the end. There is a gap in
understanding the possibilities of implementing such programs
in schools to foster the social and mental health of children with
autism. The six articles I selected for this assignment present
research on different types of therapeutic programs that have
been used to promote social interactions in children with
autism.

2. Wimpory and Nash provided a case study
for implementing music interaction therapy as part of play
therapy aimed at cultivating communication skills in infants
with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The researchers based
their argument on films taken of play-based therapy sessions
that introduced music interaction therapy. To assess the success
of music play, Wimpory and Nash filmed the follow-up play-
based interaction between the parent and the child. The follow-
up interactions revealed that 20 months after the introduction of
music play, the child developed prolonged playful interaction
with both the psychologist and the parent. The follow -up films
also revealed that the child initiated spontaneously pretend play
during these later sessions. After the introduction of music, the
child began to develop appropriate language skills.
Since the publication date for this case study is 1999, the results
are dated. Although this study found that music interaction
therapy is useful, emerging research in the field has
undoubtedly changed in the time since this article was
published. Wimpory and Nash wrote this article for a specific
audience, including psychologists and researchers worki ng with
infants diagnosed with ASD. Their focus means that others
beyond these fields may not find the findings applicable to their
work.
I am interested in the role of music in therapy to foster social
and mental health in children with ASD. Therefore, Wimpory
and Nash’s research is useful to me for background information
on the implementation of music into play-based therapy in
infants with ASD. Wimpory and Nash presented a basis for this
technique and outlined its initial development. Therefore, their
case study can be useful to my research when paired with more
recent research on the topic
.

seminar. Zygon, 32(3), 407–414. https://doi.org/10.1111/0591-
2385.00099
The authors described the construction and rationale of an
honors course in science and religion that was pedagogically
based on Lawson's learning cycle model. In Lawson's model, the
student writes a short paper on a subject before a presentation
of the material and then writes a longer paper reevaluating and
supporting his or her views. Using content analysis, the authors
compared the students' answers in the first and second essays,
evaluating them based on Fowler's stages of development. The
authors presented examples of student writing with their
analysis of the students' faith stages. The results demonstrated
development in stages 2 through 5.
The authors made no mention of how to support spiritual
development in the course. There was no correlation
between grades and level of faith development. Instead, they
were interested in the interface between religion and science,
teaching material on ways of knowing, creation myths,
evolutionary theory, and ethics. They exposed students to
Fowler's ideas but did not relate the faith development theory to
student work in the classroom. There appears to have been no
effort to modify the course content based on the predominant
stage of development, and it is probably a credit to their
teaching that they were able to conduct the course with such
diversity in student faith development. However, since Fowler's
work is based largely within a Western Christian setting, some
attention to differences in faith among class members would
have been a useful addition to the study.
Fowler's work would seem to lend itself to research of this sort,
but this model is the only example found in recent literature.
This study demonstrates the best use of the model, which is
assessment. While the theory claimed high predictive ability,
the change process that the authors chronicled is so slow and

4. idiosyncratic that it would be difficult to design and implement
research that had as its goal measurement of movement in a
faith development continuum

In understanding a child, educators in both language and music
must be present. With autism diagnosis, it expresses the
childhood experience that pushes them from social dysfunction.
In this disorder, Autism expresses a wide spectrum of treatment
methods both in public and private schools.
For learning perspective, scientists says that partnerships from
medical and school-sponsor programs need access to various
student information. In the first 3 years, the symptoms of
Autism are over 18 months in its diagnosis. A patient with this
disease cannot utter good language in the preferred 12 months.
The APA
recommends an update to all autism and child problems related
to the above syndrome. Other familiar features of this disease
include lack of joint attention that resembles bodily and facial
expressions. In this survey, the features of autism rest only
represented via behavior and the normal characteristic in
behavior.

The research done on student disability is different from nor mal
persons. Musically, the teachers are capable to define the
priorities and capabilities of certain debts categorically.
Generally, the themes taught by music teachers are aimed in
helping autistic students digest the language and learning
process.
In the overall analysis, the development of students with

5. disabilities needs a continuous and support from their teaches.
Most analysts in the field of research prefer a close relationship
with medical professional s to ascertain these goals and
company objectives. By using these new technologies, teachers
are capable of understanding the new ways of communication
and probable recommendations

Children need support and love in their upbringing. This calls
for special understanding in their skills and language
development. When children want support, they use signs and
language to communicate. In strategizing for word reading,
much attention tends to be done just in children both with
similar autism conditions.
For instance, when reading stories, children take longer in
understanding the concepts when sick with autism or normal.
While giving children independent reading styles accepts that it
is beneficial for their encouragement and praise.
They tend to blend and have confidence in understanding the
complexity and agility of new words in the systems. Hence,
good trainers offer role plays to their students such that there is
appropriation of understanding ad class maintenance. In Egypt
for instance, there is chance in giving student’s internet-
friendly opinions during their studies

Most children are diagnosed with autism in tender ages that
calls for spectrum call for scientific research. For good
communication and response, parents are advised to offer help

6. through various modes of rehabilitation. For instance, certain
techniques are used to give children ability communicate or
those with autism problems. For responsive parents, the fidelity
in applying specific guidelines are strongly enshrined.
CDC explains that this disorder is controllable not just in
schools but for good and scientific processes via parent and
child engagement.
When parents share engagements, children experience due
growth that amounts to their individual support. With autism
criteria, the attention and focus in children is divided
consistently thereby causing tension to both growth and
sustainability.
Current research indicate that parental support helps greatly in
subordinating the autistic effect and possible treatment in
children. In certain ongoing research, parents are advised to
use response techniques in gaining the pose to autism treatments

This author recognized autism as a distinct category to some
diseases. It involves the cognitive response and general social
functioning in chinndren’s growth. In language proficiency,
this journal examined the levels of proficiency that are acquired
in the extensive support to the child’s communications skills.
Either, there is an increasing number of children with autism
globally at the rate of 20%. Moreover, it is noted that children
with autism condition suffer early interventions to parental care
and proficiency. In major hospitals ASD continues to bring
challenges that can only be solved through therapies and good
medication
.
Conclusion

7. Autism poses a major public health concern in the United States
and beyond. While its prevalence rates have been surging
significantly in the last few years, health researchers have not
yet designed a fully-fledged intervention to reverse this trend
. Most children with autism show variant impairment
descriptions in their health conditions. The lifestyle and
experience differ regarding their spoken language, body
psychology and the rigidity of patterns. According to APA
foundation in America, three are difficulties experienced within
the temporal perceptions in dealing with autism
. Musical interaction makes a child’s development better that
using similar characteristics in language as advised by medical
professionals. In circumstances where infants communicate with
relatives, the outcome solely depends on the parental attributes.
With lack of parental recognition, there is no chronology of
changes in the communication patterns.

This week culminates in your submission of an annotated
bibliography that should consist of an introduction, followed by
two quantitative article annotations, two qualitative article
annotations, and two mixed methods article annotations for a
total of six annotations, followed by a conclusion.
An annotated bibliography is a document containing selected
sources accompanied by a respective annotation. Each
annotation consists of a summary, analysis, and application for
the purpose of conveying the relevance and value of the
selected source. As such, annotations demonstrate a writer’s
critical thinking about and authority on the topic represented in
the sources.
In preparation for your own future research, an annotated
bibliography provides a background for understanding a portion
of the existing literature on a particular topic. It is also a useful
precursor for gathering sources in preparation for writing a
subsequent literature review.
Please review the assignment instructions below and click on

15. the underlined words for information about how to craft each
component of an annotation.
Please use the document "Annotated Bibliography Template

Discussion: Sampling and Collecting Quantitative and

17. Qualitative Data
It is often not possible or practical to study an entire
population, so researchers draw samples from which they make
inferences about a population of interest. In quantitative
research, where generalization to a population is typically
valued, a researcher’s ability to make such inferences is only as
good as the sampling strategy she or he uses to obtain the
sample. Once an appropriate sample has been obtained, data
collection should involve valid and reliable measures to ensure
confidence in the results, as well as the ability to generalize the
research outcomes. Although generalization is typically not a
goal in qualitative research, sampling is just as important in
qualitative and mixed methods research, as is obtaining reliable
and valid results. Indeed, for quantitative, qualitative, and
mixed methods research, sampling strategies and accurate data
collection methods are critical aspects of the research process.
Specific methods of data collection (e.g., surveys, interviews,
observations) produce specific types of data that will answer
particular research questions, but not others; so here too, as
covered in previous weeks, the research questions inform how
the data will be obtained. Furthermore, the method used to
collect the data may impact the reliability and the validity of
that data.
For this Discussion, you will first consider sampling strategies.
Then, you will turn your attention to data collection methods,
including their strengths, limitations, and ethical implications.
Last, you will consider measurement reliability and validity in
the context of your discipline.
With these thoughts in mind, if your last name starts with A
through L, use Position A. If your last name starts with M
through Z, use Position B.
Position A: Probability sampling represents the best strategy for
selecting research participants.
Position B: Nonprobability (or purposive) sampling represents
the best strategy for selecting research participants.
