Single subject design (SSD) research is a quantitative approach used to investigate basic and applied research questions. It has been used for decades to examine issues of social importance such as those related to general and special education strategies, therapeutic approaches in mental health, community health practices, safety, and business practices, to name a few. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the reader to the structure and function of SSD research, concepts of internal and external validity related to this methodology, and data analytic tactics used to evaluate SSD research. Additionally, several designs are described along with examples from the applied literature to illustrate the approach.

The ability to read the newspaper is also needed by students with hearing, now there are many supporting learning of the newspaper for children with hearing hearing one method that will be used as an amaba method. This research method uses the method of Amaba in the knowledge of children with hearing impairments. The assessment used is a quantitative review with A single subject design research type assessing A-B-A. Research methods that show the method of amaba in the ability to speak for students with hearing, improve the ability to speak using the method of amaba

Background: The purpose of this single subject design was to determine if vision rehabilitation for traumatic brain injury (TBI) related visual dysfunction improves posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Methods: Three veterans with comorbid PTSD and TBI were selected for a retrospective single-subject A-B study design (i.e., baseline-intervention). A chart review consisted of PTSD checklist (PCL) scores, College of Optometrists in Vision Development – Quality of Life (COVDQOL) survey scores, and Developmental Eye Movement (DEM) test times. Each outcome measure was analyzed pre- and post-vision rehabilitation. A reliable change index for PCL scores was calculated for each subject. Results: All veterans undergoing vision rehabilitation for TBI-related visual dysfunctions showed an improvement in COVD-QOL survey scores and DEM test times. The reliable change index for the PCL score of each veteran was significantly lower from the pre- to posttreatment conditions, indicating decreased symptoms of PTSD. Conclusions: The findings of this single subject design suggest a relationship between vision rehabilitation and PTSD, with decreased symptoms reported on the PCL after treatment. The added benefit of including an eyemovement component in therapy for PTSD, which is utilized in evidence-based treatments such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), has long been debated in the literature. Given the encouraging results of this study, further research is needed to investigate the efficacy of eye movements and vision rehabilitation as a component of more comprehensive treatment for PTSD.
