Learning is a process which is not confined to classroom, workshop or training centre but continues throughout the whole day. Hence, all those who have contact with retarded adults are obliged to teach them relevant skills in as efficient a way as possible. To do this they must address themselves to two basic questions, namely, «What skills shold we teach?» and «Hown shall we teach?» This article consideres some of the evidence and ideas relating to these two issues.
