The Use of Single-Subject Research to Identify Evidence-Based Practice in Special Education
Abstract
Single-subject research plays an important role in the development of evidence-based practice in special education. The defining features of single-subject research are presented, the contributions of single-subject research for special education are reviewed, and a specific proposal is offered for using single-subject research to document evidence-based practice. This article allows readers to determine if a specific study is a credible example of single-subject research and if a specific practice or procedure has been validated as “evidence-based” via single-subject research.

In the citing paper
“Visual analysis is used to evaluate data of individuals or small groups [221], and decisions rules are then used to signal when instructional changes are needed (not just who should be labeled with a disability).”

“…practices, it is appropriate for any research method to define objective criteria that local, state or federal decision makers may use to determine if a practice is evidence based (Chambless & Hollon, 1998; Chambless & Ollendick, 2001; Odom & Strain, 2002; Shernoff, Kratochwill, & Stoiber, 2002).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
