The National Standards Project is a report that was compiled by experts in the field, to evaluate the methods of treatment available for person with a diagnosis with autism. This project as according to the National Standards Project was to provide the strength of evidence supporting educational and behavioral treatment of the disorders, express the age diagnosis and skills associated with the treatment, offers recommendation and the identify the limitations of the current body of research on the treatments. Within this report, it specifies how treatments will be rated and also puts a treatment into categories. These categories falls into established (established treatment are those treatment that has shown that the method had enough scientific

The scale uses numerical values from 5-1, it is broken down into five critical core areas to prove rigor of treatment. These critical areas are research design, measurement of the dependent variable, measurement of the independent variable or procedural fidelity, participant ascertainment and generalization. Reducing student stereotypical by improving teacher’s implementation of discrete-trial teaching, using the measure of the SCMR would be rated on a score of 0. Given the information from Dib and Sturmey (2007), the research was lacking the rigor of a providing some critical information about the research intention such as, how was the pre-treatment effected after the gathering of baseline to ascertain a steady- state if there was any or a comparison of the …show more content…
The research reflexed the criteria of such a score because of the detail description from the literation. For example, in terms of selecting the requirement for comparison, Schreibman and Stahmer, stated clearly, “A single subject, multiple baseline design across participant pairs was implemented. This design has the advantage of controlling for developmental maturation and exposure to the intervention setting.” This was very important to the standard of the discipline because it allows for future replication. In terms of data gathering, there was enough evidence that this collection was extended over a period of time and was ensured it authencity by using trend to evaluate the sustainability. For example, the literature says, “ Minimum length of baseline duration was determined prior to intervention to ensure that each child had baselines of varying length and that some children had baselines long enough to examine development of joint attention behaviors over time (Gliner, Morgan, & Harmon, 2000). Baseline data were examined, using visual analysis for trends and changes in target behaviors. All children had stable joint attention behaviors over the course of the baseline
