Olivia Enders; Seth A. King; Brendon Nylen; Lanqi Wang; Oluwatosin Opeoluwa – Behavioral Disorders, 2024
Single-case designs substantiate the effectiveness of interventions for people with disabilities and other populations through the repeated measurement of behavior over time. Consequently, employing accurate and reliable systems of measurement is critical to the validity of single-case designs. Much of the data in single-case research are…

Elizabeth Talbott; Andres De Los Reyes; Devin M. Kearns; Jeannette Mancilla-Martinez; Mo Wang – Exceptional Children, 2023
Evidence-based assessment (EBA) requires that investigators employ scientific theories and research findings to guide decisions about what domains to measure, how and when to measure them, and how to make decisions and interpret results. To implement EBA, investigators need high-quality assessment tools along with evidence-based processes. We…

Luckner, John L.; Banerjee, Rashida; Movahedazarhouligh, Sara; Millen, Kaitlyn – Journal of Special Education, 2020
Current federal legislation emphasizes the use of programs, interventions, strategies, and activities that have been demonstrated through research to be effective. One way to increase the quantity and quality of research that guides practice is to conduct replication research. The purpose of this study was to undertake a systematic review of the…

Shepley, Collin; Lane, Justin D.; Ault, Melinda J. – Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, 2020
The system of least prompts response prompting procedure has a rich history in special education research and practice. Recently, two independent systematic reviews were conducted to determine if the system of least prompts met criteria to be classified as an evidence-based practice. Both reviews used single-case design standards developed by What…

Buren, Molly K.; Johnson, Austin H.; Maggin, Daniel M.; Bains, Bhawandeep K.; Galligan, Megan R. Ledoux; Couch, Lauren K. – Advances in Learning and Behavioral Disabilities, 2021
Evidence-based practice is an essential component of special education and provides a framework for promoting the use of research to inform policy and practice. Despite the importance of evidence-based practice to special education, the research-to-practice gap remains a persistent challenge to the successful dissemination of effective,…

Garwood, Justin D.; Peltier, Corey; Sinclair, Tracy; Eisel, Heather; McKenna, John W.; Vannest, Kimberly J. – Behavioral Disorders, 2021
Students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBDs) could be considered some of the most challenging students to serve in schools. The need for effective interventions for these students is ever-present. To design and implement empirical studies to better inform the field of EBDs, researchers must have a firm understanding of the most…

Cook, Bryan G.; Lloyd, John Wills; Mellor, David; Nosek, Brian A.; Therrien, William J. – Exceptional Children, 2018
Scientific evidence should guide the selection of practice for individuals with disabilities. Scientific evidence, however, must be trustworthy to move special education toward greater empirical certainty and more effective policies and practices. Transparency, openness, and reproducibility increase the trustworthiness of evidence. We propose that…

Mathews, Hannah M.; Hirsch, Shanna E.; Therrien, William J. – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2018
Special educators are tasked with understanding and implementing evidence-based practices. The purpose of this article is to highlight the salient features of replication in special education research and explain how practitioners can use this knowledge to become critical consumers of research. To do this we describe replication, emphasize the…
