2006 ABA Tutorial: Using Single Case Designs to Establish Evidence-Based Practice |
Abstract: The session will focus on the need to extend behavioral theory and research methods to documentation of “evidence-based” practices. Federal policy is moving toward an emphasis on funding for, and scholarship about “evidence-based” practices. At this point, the primary way a practice can be documented as “evidence-based” is through randomized control group designs. The session will focus on (a) the need for behavior analysts to agree on the core features of single case designs, (b) the need for operational standards for synthesis of multiple single case studies, and (c) professional standards for defining when a body of single case research can be viewed as sufficient to document a practice as “evidence-based.” |
