Abstract
In order for severely retarded adults to move from sheltered employment to competitive employment, they must be trained to perform sophisticated survival skills. One of these is independent bus riding. Modeling, verbal instructions, and feedback were utilized successfully to train a severely retarded adult to independently and safely ride a bus to and from work. The long-term time, financial, and social advantages are significant.Keywords
