In this article, we provide guidance about when planned ignoring should be considered, questions that may arise, and step-by-step procedures for implementing. A scenario of a kindergarten student is used to illustrate planned ignoring and possible questions regarding implementation in an educational setting. Forms and resources are provided to assist with classroom implementation.

This article introduces and describes the two articles that are part of the thematic special series on investigating research questions to improve services for students with specific learning disabilities using single-case research design. The issue includes an article for peer reviewers, which serves as a guide for decision-making and evaluation of single-case research design studies. The other article is intended for researchers interested in designing behavioral interventions for students with specific learning disabilities using single-case research designs. Both articles provide readers with descriptions of methods, approaches, and techniques that lead to high-quality research design.
