Abstract
Visual procedures are the most commonly used in the analysis of single case design data. However, a number of problems with visual analysis methods have been identified in previous research, and research and development on visual analysis methods has been recommended. If single case design methods are to be used, as once hoped, by social work practitioners, then visual analysis methods should be easy and quick to use as well as methodologically defensible. This article presents visual analysis methods for use by social work practitioners. First, there is a presentation of a method for representing trend. Next there is a presentation of methods for representing variability, background variability, and overlap and discussion of their use in the visual analysis of single case data. Finally, there are two illustrative data analyses in which these methods are used. The mathematical and statistical bases for these methods are provided in two appendices. The methods presented are quick and easy to use and require nothing more than a pencil or pen and a straight edge for use by practitioners.
