All the single cases, all the single cases. Now [students] put your hands up!
Friday September 18, 2026 3:40pm - 4:30pm CDT
Single case research design (SCRD) is a growing methodology across behavioral disciplines to establish evidence for treatment and intervention effectiveness. SCRD offers a more feasible, practical method to assess intervention effectiveness, using smaller samples to infer clinical significance (Lenz, 2015; Mirza et al., 2017). This Q&A session will support students and researchers by exploring how to apply SCRD in current or future studies based on presenters' ongoing scholarship.
