Resumen	The Pragmatic ABA Design is a single-subject reversal experiment conducted under real-world, naturalistic conditions rather than tightly controlled laboratory settings. It follows the classic baseline (A1) — intervention (B) — withdrawal/return-to-baseline (A2) sequence while deliberately relaxing control conditions to reflect authentic practice environments. This approach prioritizes external validity and clinical utility, making findings directly applicable to schools, clinics, and community settings.	The AB design is the simplest single-subject experimental design, consisting of two sequential phases: a baseline phase (A) in which the target behavior is observed under natural conditions without intervention, followed by an intervention phase (B) in which the treatment or manipulation is introduced. Changes in the behavior's level, trend, or variability between phases are used to infer the effect of the intervention on the individual participant.
