Watch the: http://amara.org/en/videos/doXnriWsAEgx/url/651014/ What ethical considerations do you think apply to the research conducted on Genie (consider the APA’s ethical principles and standards when answering)? Compare and contrast these ethical considerations to the ones most relevant to the classic examples of ethically dubious psychological research: the Stanford Prison simulation and Milgram’s learning experiments.
You are a lay-counselor in your church services program, assigned to work with Andrea and her family. Andrea, an 8 year old female, was recently medically diagnosed with a sexually transmitted illness. From this diagnosis, investigation discovered that she was being sexually abused by her uncle. It is suspected that this had been occurring since the age of 4, when Andrea’s mother began a full-time job, which necessitated leaving the daughter in the care of the child’s aunt. The medical personnel who diagnosed the STI appropriately reported the suspected abuse. Andrea was visited and interviewed, in school, by a Child Protective Services worker. Andrea, since disclosure and findings, has become withdrawn, and exhibits frequent crying. Having difficulty in coping with findings that their daughter was sexually abused and confused with the process of the investigation, the parents report blaming themselves, and feeling guilty regarding “letting this happen.” Additionally, they report uncertainty as to how to help Andrea.
Kearney Guidelines
Present a summary of core points and details presented in the Kearney (2001) text. Identify, define, and discuss the core points. Include specific key points and details. Key words include identify, describe, define, and discuss. This section should be three pages.
Agency Involvement Based from Kearney
Apply specific core points from Kearney’s (2001) book to work with the case scenario clients. Construct a plan of how you could guide the family through navigating this event. Predict what agencies might be involved in this scenario, and explain why they would be involved. This section should be two pages.
Networking and Collaboration
Either drawing from the agencies you presented in your Community Agency Review Assignment, or choosing 2 different community service agencies in your geographical area, discuss the roles of these community agencies, and how their service provision could be helpful to the case scenario family/child. Present a plan of how you would collaborate with the agencies to provide complete and informed support to the family. Provide information and ideas from the Kearney (2001) text and course materials to validate and support your plan. This section should be two pages.
Ethical Considerations
Identify and discuss 2 -3 ethical considerations in this case situation, that you will need to follow as you work with this family system. This section should be one page.

The purpose of this assignment is to reflect on and analyze ethical considerations when working with families of children with special needs.
Directions:
Using the course content and the steps to ethical problem solving here (https://www.naswma.org/page/100/Essential-Steps-for-Ethical-Problem-Solving.htm) complete a problem-solving approach to two of the case studies.
Case Study #1: The IEP deadline for Gerald is on Monday and his parents are not free to meet until the following Friday. You’ve tried contacting them by phone for two weeks and planned to meet on Monday without them. They have a desire to attend the meeting but had some problems with their phone. They are just now calling you at the end of the day on Friday. What should you do?
Case Study #2: The IEP team at your school decided that Sally would be best suited in a self-contained classroom. After you share your recommendation with the parents, her mother expresses her relief to find that there are solutions to help her daughter. However, Sally’s father becomes irate and yells at the mother for producing an idiot child. He said that no daughter of his will go to the “dumb class” and then he storms out. What should you do?
Then, analyze this ethical dilemma and attempt to find a resolution for each.
Write a reflection based on your analysis and solution to each ethical dilemma. Make sure to include what was violated and suggestions and strategies to ensure ethical practice when working with families. Revise and edit your work before submitting it.
Students will write a 4–5-page paper about an ethical situation that they have encountered in their lives. Students will be asked to apply at least two of the APA standards as well as at least two of the Saint Leo University core values. (30% of grade)
Ethical issues that could occur in your research study and consider how you will avoid them. Discuss how ethical standards will protect any human subjects who participate in your research study, and include information from the Belmont Report that supports your thoughts (remember, this is a hypothetical research study that you will not conduct).
