Abstract
Three severely retarded adults were taught to construct an eleven-wire cable harness similar to those available in many sheltered workshops. Individual training was used with two trainees who required totals of 18 and 35 hours of instruction respectively before learning the task. Both the successful acquisition of this apparently difficult work task and the subsequent rates at which it was performed argue for inclusion of more severely and profoundly retarded adults in existing sheltered work programs.
