Abstract	Effect sizes for single-subject research were examined to determine to what extent they measure similar aspects of the effects of the treatment. Seventy-five articles on the reduction of problem behavior in children with autism were recharted on standard celeration charts. Pearson product-moment correlations were then conducted between two previously unexamined effect sizes, celeration and celeration change, as well as three more common statistics, the mean baseline reduction, the percentage of non-overlapping data, and the percentage of zero data. Significant correlations were found for both celeration and celeration change, suggesting that these and other effect sizes measure somewhat similar aspects of the effect of the treatment. These findings and limitations are discussed within the broader context of evidence-based practices in education. (Contains 1 table and 4 figures.) (As Provided).
