We employed a variation of the Azrin–Foxx (1971) procedure with a 3.5‐year‐old boy diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disability (PDD). Unique features of our design included tailoring to the in‐home environment, training without systematically increasing fluid intake, introduction under circumstances that facilitated generalization and transfer without special procedures, the elimination of some specialized equipment, and use of social and activity reinforcers. Training was successful and was reported to have generalized to the inclusive school environment. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
