Although comparison studies are important in early intervention/early childhood special education (EI/ECSE), results of well-designed comparison studies are likely to be unpublished because of undifferentiated or differently differentiated results across participants. The purpose of this article is to highlight the utility of comparison designs in the identification of evidence-based interventions for individual children. We present results from three single case comparative studies analyzing embedded and massed-trial instruction, high- and low-fidelity instruction, and small group versus 1:1 instruction conducted in ECSE settings. All participants learned all targeted behaviors in both instructional conditions and learned no behaviors assigned to control conditions. Results suggest that evidence-based practices are not a “one-size-fits-all” conclusion and that data-based decision making is critical even when empirically supported interventions are used.

Background: The study objective was to describe the emotional and behavioural responses to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) risk notification. Methods: A qualitative study using 11 participants’ interviews, which were analysed thematically with Framework Analysis. Participants: Six participants purposively selected from people exposed to surgical instruments used previously on patients with or at risk of CJD (any type; n = 60), and 5 participants from a cohort of blood donors to patients who subsequently developed variant CJD (n = 110). Results: Notification was initially a shocking event, but with no lasting emotional impact. Those notified were convinced they were at extremely low risk of CJD and coped by not thinking about the information. Disclosure outside the immediate family was limited by fears of stigma. All expressed concern about the possibility of onward transmission and agreed notification was appropriate. Individual adherence to public health precautions varied from those who did nothing, apart from not donating blood, to those who consistently followed all advice given. This variation was informed by an assumption that information was always shared among health professionals. Conclusions: Factors contributing to minimising emotional distress following notification of CJD risk were evident. We found little evidence of sustained emotional distress. However, implementation of behaviours to minimise onward transmission, particularly in health care settings, was variable – this requires further investigation.

A 32-year-old white woman who has never smoked presents with pruritic, tender, erythematous, violaceous patches with eczema-like blisters on her upper, lateral thighs. In 2012, she began traveling annually from Pennsylvania to South Carolina, from January through April, where she works with and rides horses daily from morning to evening. Her symptoms began in her first year in South Carolina and appear consistently from January through March. Her lesions appear initially in mid-January as a red dot and progress by mid-February. They resolve spontaneously in March. Deep punch biopsies were performed and histologic analyses were consistent with a diagnosis of equestrian cold panniculitis, also known as equestrian perniosis (EP). EP involves inflammation of cutaneous and fatty tissue in response to exposure to cold temperatures. Although the pathogenesis and etiology of the disease is uncertain, EP can present as an idiopathic dermatosis or with an underlying autoimmune disease. It has been described as a cold injury that particularly affects the fatty region of the lateral thighs and hips.
