The use of restraint and seclusion in residential treatment care for youth : a systematic review of related factors and interventions
(SAGE, 2019-05-23)Children placed in residential treatment centers (RTCs) typically present challenging behavior including aggression. In this context, restraint and seclusion (R&S) are seen as “last resort” strategies for educators to manage youth aggression. The use ... -
Using a visual structured criterion for the analysis of alternating-treatment designs
Visual structured criterion
(SAGE, 2019-01)Although visual inspection remains common in the analysis of single-case designs, the lack of agreement between raters is an issue that may seriously compromise its validity. Thus, the purpose of our study was to develop and examine the properties ... -
Using AB designs with nonoverlap effect size measures to support clinical decision-making : a Monte Carlo validation
(SAGE, 2019-07-13)Single-case experimental designs often require extended baselines or the withdrawal of treatment, which may not be feasible or ethical in some practical settings. The quasi-experimental AB design is a potential alternative, but more research is needed ... -
Using ABC narrative recording to identify the function of problem behavior: a pilot study
(Elsevier, 2013)Many professionals report using ABC narrative recording to identify the function of problem behavior in children with developmental disabilities, but research has not established whether their analyses yield valid results. Thus, the purpose of this ... -
Using computer tablets to assess preference for videos in children with autism
Assessing preference for videos
(Springer, 2016)Using computer tablets, we assessed preference for videos in five children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Then, we provided access to most preferred and less preferred videos contingent on sitting on one of two chairs within a concurrent schedule ... -
Using differential reinforcement of high rates of behavior to improve work productivity : a replication and extension
Differential reinforcement of high rates of behavior to increase work productivity in adults with intellectual disability
(Wiley, 2019-04-30)Background: Due to deficits in adaptive and cognitive functioning, productivity may pose challenges for individuals with intellectual disability in the workplace.Method: Using a changing‐criterion embedded in a multiple baseline across partici‐pants ... -
Using interactive web training to teach parents to select function-based interventions for challenging behaviour : a preliminary study
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-05-10)Background: Children with developmental disability often engage in challenging behaviour, which may require that parents implement behavioural assessments and interventions. The purpose of our pilot study was to examine the effects of an interactive ... -
Using mobile technology to reduce engagement in stereotypy : a validation of decision-making algorithms
Mobile technology to reduce stereotypy
(SAGE, 2017-12)We developed an iOS app, the iSTIM, designed to support parents of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in reducing common repetitive vocal and motor behavior (i.e., stereotypy). The purpose of our study was to preliminarily test the ... -
Using single-case designs in practical settings: Is replication always necessary?
Is within-subject replication always necessary?
(Springer, 2018-05-17)Behavior analysts have widely adopted and embraced within-subject replication through the use of reversal and multielement designs. However, the withdrawal of treatment, which is central to these designs, may not be desirable, feasible, or even ethical ... -
Using single-case experiments to support evidence-based decisions : how much is enough?
Single-case experimental designs
(Sage, 2016)For practitioners, the use of single-case experimental designs (SCEDs) in the research literature raises an important question: How many single-case experiments are enough to have sufficient confidence that an intervention will be effective with an ... -
Using the dual-criteria methods to supplement visual inspection: An analysis of nonsimulated data
Dual-criteria methods 1
(Wiley, 2017)The purpose of our study was to examine the probability of observing false positives in non-simulated data using the dual-criteria methods. We extracted data from published studies to produce a series of 16,927 datasets and then assessed the proportion ... -
Using the prevent-teach-reinforce model to reduce challenging behaviors in children with autism spectrum disorder in home settings : a feasibility study
(Elsevier, 2021-05-26)Background. Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) often engage in high levels of challenging behaviors, which can be difficult to reduce for parents in home settings. The purpose of our study was to address this issue by examining the effects ... -

Waiting for baseline stability in single-case designs : is it worth the time and effort?
(Springer, 2022-04-25)Researchers and practitioners often use single-case designs (SCDs), or n-of-1 trials, to develop and validate novel treatments. Standards and guidelines have been published to provide guidance as to how to implement SCDs, but many of their recommendations ... -
