Description

Visual analysis of data is a cornerstone of single-subject research. Yet some researchers have found that experts often disagree about what constitutes an intervention effect. This potential lack of consistency across visual analysts can have negative implications for both research and practice. This tutorial offers a systematic, evidence-based procedure for training individuals to conduct valid and reliable visual analyses of single-subject data. It features extensive discrimination training and practice opportunities; adaptive instruction and remediation for errors; and full audio narration in a self-paced, mobile-friendly format.

    Wish I had this tutorial a long time ago! So well put together and easy to navigate… also did not take too much time to complete and the content was well worth the price, which was extremely affordable. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to master the basics of visual analysis. I will definitely be looking for other levels of this course as well, so I can further my knowledge from basics to advanced someday.

    This learning module helped me to grasp the concepts and provided meaningful knowledge checks along the way. I did find the test at the end to be much more difficult than the periodic checks throughout the modules but it led to a deeper understanding of the material presented.
