Single-Case Designs for Applied Research

Kennedy has finally written a new edition! No more scrounging for 2005 copies. Kennedy provides a thorough and accessible introduction to single case research design. The text is an excellent reference or course text.

This book not only reviews single case research designs, but it builds the foundational knowledge necessary for students to understand why we conduct research as well as how to conduct single subject research.

This textbook is excellent for a group of students who have been exposed to applied behavior analysis and education research content. The textbook dives deep into fundamental elements of single-case research. Kennedy has a voice that is readable, striking as unique and distinct. There are many bits of information peppered in from historical and multi-disciplinary perspectives.

I really like how the wording and writing of this chapter are relatable to professionals and students. I don’t often see the use of relevant jargon and concepts to real examples students can understand from their work as teachers in the field.

A comprehensive text that incorporates recent advances in data analysis for single case research studies and addresses issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

This useful textbook offers background information, fundamental ideas, and a comprehension of pertinent problems in applied behavior analysis, more specifically in single subject research designs. It provides an overview of the main categories of single subject research designs while combining explanation and application. The overview of the history is followed by a detailed summary of the findings from relevant research that have been published in scholarly literature as it relates to each design.

This text provides an accessible approach to teaching single-subject methodology to students while clarifying definitions and reviewing examples from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
