This study describes the systems used in planning and implementing a community‐based service for adults with severe or profound mental handicaps over a three year period. These systems were: a global method of individual programme planning; a formal structure for one‐to‐one teaching; and a more general form of opportunity planning for developing and practising skills. A content analysis of the type of goals set and the extent of their implementation and success is presented.
