Description

Across disciplines researchers and practitioners rely on single-case research methodology for its wide applicability and self-contained quality. Although it developed out of behavioral psychology and applied behavioral analysis, single-case research is used for research in special education, speech and communication sciences, language and literacy, occupational therapy, and social work. In this new edition of Single Case Research Methodology: Applications in Education, David L. Gast and Jennifer Ledford compile nineteen new chapters and five updated and revised chapters, that detail why and how to apply standard principles to one’s own research or professional project.
