Introduction: The student will need to introduce what the research proposal topic is about. See page 271 of your textbook. (Estimated length - one page)
Problem Statement: You need to identify a very specific problem within the stated topic. Do not let that problem be too broad. It should be narrowed down to a specific problem that is researchable. Present that problem in a general thesis statement stating why the problem is important enough to study. Include any corrections or feedback you received from the Unit I Assignment. See page 43 of your textbook. (Estimated length - one paragraph)
Rationale for the Research: You will need to explain what the study intends to accomplish. What rationale was used to determine the importance for this study?

Definition of Terms: Define a minimum of five terms used throughout the proposal so that readers can be sure to understand the meaning of the terminology used.

Each part of this assignment should be submitted in one document.
Introduction topic from page 271 from the book.
The first page of the text begins with the title of the manuscript centered, with the first letter of each word capitalized (except articles and prepositions). The introduction unlike other sections in the manuscript, is not explicitly labeled as such, rather, it just begins after manuscript title. The introduction provides a framework for the problem that is being studied and a context for the statement of the purpose of the study being report.

I have outlined each of the points you are required to complete in this assignment. I chose adult care (specifically adult day care) as the topic.

Introduction

Among the most prevalent needs in society today is adult care for individuals with disabilities such as dementia and Alzheimer's. Another group that needs adult care are the developmentally disabled. Many people who work in companies that offer adult day care are trained to work with the mental disabilities of dementia and Alzheimer's. However, training to work with the developmentally disabled is not as common. Developmental disabilities (DD) include Cerebral Palsy, Down 's syndrome, Mental Disabilities, Autism and Autism Spectrum. This is not a complete list of DD, but it does point to a problem with training people to work with DD.

The people within these groups can be completely capable of handling independent living and just need short-term day services, or they can be low functioning and need individualized care, both mental and physical. People working with them must be able to adjust to a group that may have someone who can write their own checks and cook their own meals to someone who needs to be changed like a baby. Finding people to work within such parameters is difficult. Now there are the added groups of traumatic brain injury victims (TBI), some of who may be veterans.

Some people with developmental disabilities may be high functioning. They may also just need somewhere to go during the day because caretakers cannot be found, are too expensive, or are not covered by insurance programs. The group worker must provide activities that engage and interest the client. At the other end of the spectrum, the work will deal with individuals who cannot speak, seem to ignore the world, and cannot participate in activities ...
