Will Graduates Use Single-Subject Designs to Evaluate Their Casework Practice?

Abstract

This article describes the development, implementation, and student evaluation of a course designed in part to train direct practice graduate students to evaluate their casework practice. Students were followed up fourteen months after graduation to determine if they were using single-subject designs as part of their casework. The results of the follow-up were discouraging. The need to develop an improved technology for the maintenance and generalization of students' skills after graduation is discussed.
