This design involves taking baselines of the behavior in different situations (session room and ward) before introducing treatment. This allows for a comparison of the effectiveness of the treatment across different situations (multiple-baseline across situations). The ABAC design also involves introducing treatment in a phased manner (A-B-A-C) which helps to establish the functional relationship between treatment and behavior change.
