সারসংক্ষেপ	The pragmatic ABAB design is a single-case experimental design that adapts the classic reversal (ABAB) logic to real-world clinical and applied constraints. It alternates between a baseline phase (A) and an intervention phase (B) twice, demonstrating experimental control through repeated phase changes while allowing flexibility — such as abbreviated withdrawals or partial reversals — when full withdrawal of treatment is ethically or practically impossible.	The multiple baseline design is a single-subject experimental design that demonstrates functional control by introducing an intervention at staggered time points across two or more baselines — typically across different behaviors, individuals, or settings. Because no withdrawal of treatment is required, it is especially suitable when the target behavior is irreversible or when removing an effective intervention would be unethical.
