The recent trends and practices in working with individuals with severe handicaps are many and varied. Politics and social values have steered technological advancements in certain directions and away from others, but it is clear that today teachers, parents, and other professionals have more effective treatment procedures available for individuals with severe handicaps than ever before. This paper discusses the concomitant developments in behavioral techniques for persons with severe handicaps and ethical trends for providing services that have occurred over the past ten years.
