• To prepare for this section of Course Project, note the topics that are studied in the required articles in Module 1. Consider the examples provided in the O'Neill text.
• Write one to two paragraphs describing your topic and the target behavior you wish to address using single-subject design. Your decision should be based on your interests and professional goals. Be sure that your topic is not too broad and that it is narrowed down to a specific population, intervention, and/or setting.The target behavior needs to be clearly defined, measurable, and observable. Use current research to support the need to study this topic.
• Write 500 wordsthat includes the following points:
  • A clear Problem Statement, supported with at least 3-5 current research articles, that addresses the purpose of the study and is clearly connected to the identified topic and target behavior
  • Detailed description of the participant(s) and how the participants align with the problem and purpose of the study
  • At least one research question that will be answered through your single-subject research proposal
• Write 500 words describing your A-B-A-B design by identify the following:
  • Operationally define the dependent and independent variables that align with the problem statement and research questions.
  • Operationally define the intervention.
  • Discuss the baseline (A), how you will collect baseline data, and provide a rationale for how these methods align with your study.
  • Describe the intervention (B) you will implement until stable performance has been established and how you will collect this data.
  • Discuss your plan to withdraw the intervention and reinstate baseline (A).
  • Describe how you will reintroduce the intervention (B) and collect this data.
  • Include research to support each component.
• Write 750 words regarding your Multiple Baseline Design that includes the following:
  • Describe the characteristics of your Multiple Baseline Design including the Purpose, General Characteristics, Design Strengths, and Design Weaknesses.
  • Identify the aspects of the A-B-A-B Design that may remain the same as well as the changes that are necessary for the A-B-A-B Design to conform to a Multiple Baseline Design. Describe how the changes will impact the study.
  • Explain to what extent the changes modified your research question(s).
  • Analyze how the changes to the design support the study and could impact your findings.
  • Cite at least 3-5 current research articles to support your ideas.
• Write 500 words regarding your Variation of the Multiple Baseline Design that includes the following:
  • Describe the characteristics of your Multiple Baseline Design including the aspects of the original Multiple Baseline Design that may remain the same and the variables that were changed. Provide a rationale for the reason why you kept some variables the same and why you changed the selected variables.
  • Explain to what extent the changes modified your research question(s).
  • Analyze how the changes to the design support the study and could impact your findings.
  • Cite at least 3-5 current research articles research to support your ideas.
