TL;DR: The authors take issue with the PND method, which reduces functional analyses to a one-number summary, for the following reasons: (a) the most relevant and credible evidence from single-subject designs lies in the patterns of change across time; (b) summaries based on PND may miss vital idiosyncracies in behavior within and across studies; and (c) as practiced previously, syntheses of literature based on pND may misrepresent procedural facts and outcomes.

TL;DR: This article used self-monitoring and a student/teacher matching strategy to improve the classroom social skills of five inner-city middle school students who were at risk for school failure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effects of peer coaching, a method of supervising preservice teacher trainees who were learning to deliver direct instruction procedures to small groups of elementary-age students with mild disabilities.
