Single-Subject Designs for School Psychologists

By Christopher H Skinner and Christopher H. Skinner

Single-Subject Designs for School Psychologists shows how practitioners--educators, counselors, and support personnel--can contribute to the research base in their field by using single-subject methodologies to empirically validate the effects of their interventions. This book provides the research tools to tackle real world problems such as reducing transition times; improving reading, mathematics, and writing performance; increasing on-task behavior; and enhancing public speaking skills by presenting examples and analysis of single-subject design research methods. Specific methodologies include empirical case studies, withdrawal designs, multiple-probe designs, and nonconcurrent multiple-baseline designs. This extensively referenced source includes helpful charts and tables to clearly illustrate research data.
