Comparison of Using Modified and Nonmodified Books on Comprehension of Students With Extensive Support Needs
Modified books are frequently used as comprehension supports for students with extensive support needs (ESN), despite limited evaluations of their creation process or impact on comprehension. This study evaluates the impact of individualized book and comprehension question modifications made through a systematic decision-making process on student comprehension during nonfiction shared book reading in general education classes. A repeated acquisit…
Examining the Cost-Effectiveness of Intensive Interventions
Intensive interventions are time- and resource-demanding interventions designed to be implemented with a single student with unique learning needs. Economic evaluation provides a methodology for evaluating the time and material resource costs of implementing these interventions to provide detailed feasibility information for educators considering their implementation. This study presents a cost analysis of the time and materials required to imple…
Social and Emotional Intervention Research as Justice
The field of special education is recognized for conducting research designed to improve the quality of life for the children and families we serve. However, our field has been criticized for empirical approaches that are inconsistent with the values and beliefs we articulate as central to our scientific practice. As such, a shift in our research endeavors is warranted. Given the specific calls within early childhood special education for researc…
Rethinking Rigor in Multiple Baseline and Multiple Probe Designs
A number of resources are available for evaluating the rigor of single-case designs, including the commonly used multiple baseline design. In this article, we discuss two characteristics commonly cited as necessary for the highest rigor in multiple baseline designs—concurrence and response-guided baseline condition duration. We suggest that both nonconcurrence and response-independent baseline condition duration may be appropriate in some situati…
Estimating the Impact of Design Standards on the Rigor of a Subset of Single-Case Research
The implementation of research-based practices by teachers in public school classrooms is required under federal law as expressed in the Individuals With Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004. To aid teachers in identifying such practices, researchers conduct systematic reviews of the educational literature. Although recent attention has been given to changes in the quality of these reviews, there has been minimal discussion about change…
