This paper describes important programmatic components of small, community based, residential services for people with severe mental handicaps and challenging behaviours. The approach described advocates the use of procedures to plan staff activity in considerable detail in order to achieve goals in the areas of supporting people's engagement in functional, age-appropriate activities and managing inappropriate behaviour.
