As part of your response, please also discuss how you would use a single subject design to meet your evaluation ends.Rationale for treatment objectives: Explain to the reader why you are using particular objectives to meet treatment goals (hint: go to the literature and cite evidence-based practices and/or describe the unique circumstances of the client).Self-reflection: Briefly describe what you believe to be the strengths and weaknesses of your assessment skills.
