Assignment: Single System Design

Single system design can be a rigorous method used in implementing the evidence-based practice process. This method allows practitioners to monitor client progress, although there are obstacles that may prevent rigorous data collection. These potential obstacles include client crises that may not allow practitioners to collect sufficient baseline data; heavy case loads, which increase the difficulty of collecting repeated measures; peers and supervisors who may not recognize the value of single case research; and clients who may resent extensive monitoring.

In a single system design you can choose from several types of designs, including

AB: The basic single case design
ABAB: Withdrawal/reversal design
ABA: Multiple-baseline design

Using these models, you can get different types of graphic representations with A representing the baseline phase and B representing the experimental phase.

This is a line graph displaying different representations of single system design with observation points making up the X axis and level of depression making up the Y axis.

For this Assignment, you analyze the strengths and weaknesses of single system design.

The Assignment:

Submit a 2–3 page analysis of single system design in which you:

Summarize the strengths and weaknesses of single system design.
Describe how you can overcome identified weaknesses and build on the strengths of the single system design.
Explain how likely you are to use this evaluation method in your practice and why or why not.
Identify the case design you think is the most useful to your practice and research.
