Theoretical Framework

  1. Literature Review and Theoretical Framework: 3 Peer review articles that address the selection of your topic. (You may use 1 textbook). Identify and
    discuss a theoretical framework that supports your investigation.
  2. Intervention:
    a. What problem (mental health, behavioral, social etc.) is addressed by the practice being evaluated? (What is the client being treated / intervened for?)
    b. What intervention model is used by the practitioner whose practice will be evaluated? (What’s the method of treatment? CBT? SU counseling? ABA
    therapy? etc.) (use citations!)
    c. Time period of the of the intervention being evaluated (treatment plan: 3-momnth? 6-month? etc.) (0.5 – 1p – 1.5)
  3. Design of the single-system data collection:
    a. Baselines. Type(s) and length(s) of baseline(s) you would use (Reconstructed/Retrospective? Or Observed/Concurrent?);
    b. Intervention periods. Length of intervention period(s) you would observe, and how you would alternate baselines with intervention periods? (0.5 – 1 p)
