Handbook of Statistical Methods: Single Subject Design

Satake (mathematics in communication disorders, Emerson College) and his co-authors (both communications sciences and disorders, Emerson College) understand the effect of single-subject research programs, and offer a practical guide to analyzing and interpreting single subject data across a range of clinical needs. They begin by answering the most frequently asked questions, then use such examples anomia in aphasia, dysarthria, clinical and rehabilitation psychology, cochlear implants, and childhood autism to describe single subject designs in clinical applications in the behavior and health sciences, with descriptions, graphs and statistic analyses. The result is a practical guide that gives sufficient background in theory to allow for best practices. This works as a self-study guide as well as a classroom text.
