This is the non-intervention phase –this is where you monitor the target problem with the client (using the measure you have agreed upon) to see what the target looks like for the client over at least 8 measurements.
Why 8 measurements?You need at least this many observations in order to assess stability in the baseline.
Why would I want a stable baseline?
How do Icollect baselineinformation?
What if they cannot complete the measure 8 times before they come back to see me to begin the intervention?
What is the difference between clinical significance and statistical significance?
