Follow the rules of the publication manual of the American Psychological Association
(APA, 6th edition) in citing references.
http://www.apastyle.org/pubmanual.html , and through amazon.com. APA style must include a cover page, page numbers, running head, subtitles, citations and reference page.
Your writing should be in ‘People First’ language. People First language is used in professional fields to provide meaning and value to the student/person before the disability. Examples of People First language includes “student with Autism” as opposed to “Autistic child” or “child with a disability” as opposed to “disabled child.” Papers that do not reflect People First language will lose points.
