Part 2
Objective
You will gain experience creating single subject design graphs.
Overview
Clinicians often use graphed data to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention they are
delivering to clients. Learning how to make graphs can be difficult. Published task analyses
are a common way to learn how to create graphs. These articles list the steps one takes to
make a graph. ACE Lab has been evaluating whether we they can improve on this
paradigm by incorporating video modeling. With advances in technology, services like
YouTube have become resources for learning new skills. If you are having trouble changing
something on your computer, simply go to YouTube and you can probably find a video of
someone walking through how to fix the problem. They have applied this to creating
graphs. Instead of having a learner follow a written list of steps to create graphs,
they created video models for each step.
Exercise
Attached are data sheets for 3 sets of raw data, each collected for a different single-case
design. You will complete the online tutorial on graphing to create three graphs. To access
this you must visit: http://blogs.cuit.columbia.edu/df2675/graphing-tutorials/

Part 3: Graph 1
Objective
You will gain experience conducting visual analysis of single subject design graphs.
Overview
Clinicians often use graphed data to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention they are
delivering to clients. Learning how to determine if change occurs can be difficult.
Exercise
Answer the following questions using the corresponding graph on each page. Refer to the
"What Works Clearinghouse" reading on Visual Analysis of Single-Case Research Results
and the Ledford and Gast (2018) Chapter on Visual Analysis to aid you in answering the
questions. **Unless otherwise indicated, when completing calculations, round your answer
to the nearest whole number.
Graph 1
The following graph depicts the frequency of problem behavior for a child who displays off
task behaviors in the classroom (e.g., giggling with neighbors, touching objects in desk,
etc.) when his teacher has instructed the class to independently complete a specific
assignment.
The baseline data show a pattern of behaviour in need of change.
True
False
Accepted characters: numbers, decimal point markers, sign indicators (-), spaces
(e.g., as thousands separator, 5 000), "E" or "e" (used in scientific notation).
NOTE: For scientific notation, a period MUST be used as the decimal point marker.
The mean of baseline phase 1 is ____
