<p><em><b>Our comment</b>: The manual, while informative and useful in the whole, was originally written in the '70's and is dated in the occasional use of aversive contingencies. Current best practice emphasizes positive programming through positive reinforcement. This caveat does not discount the overall value of this manual in considerations of how to teach basic skills to severe learners.</em>
