TL;DR: Now thoroughly updated in its second edition, acclaimed author Alan E. Kazdin's Single-Case Research Designs provides a notable contrast to the quantitative methodology approach that pervades the biological and social sciences.

TL;DR: In this article, the defining features of single-subject research are presented, the con- tributions of single subject research for special education are reviewed, and a specific proposal is of- fered for using singlesubject research to document evidence-based practice.

TL;DR: Practical expriences to date in using the CSQ along with general psychometric qualities of the scale and correlations of CSQ results with client characteristics, service utilization, and service outcomes are presented.
