Abstract | Background: Individuals with severe disability exiting school are likely to be enrolled in day activity and sheltered workshops at least as often as in supported employment. Such facilities are often staffed by paraprofessionals who may not have the skills to engage clients in meaningful activities. This article describes a 3-phase staff training project designed to increase client engagement in an adult habilitation centre. Method: The first phase of the project was to develop curriculum guidelines. The second phase was conducting a series of training for paraprofessional staff. And the third was the implementation of the clinical experience. The first author conducted a graduate level methods class on site at the adult habilitation centre. Staff participants (paraprofessional staff, supervisors, and graduate students) learned the components of systematic instruction and developed and implemented activities for clients. Engagement was measured before and after the 5-week clinical experience. Results and conclusions: The engagement of clients increased with the implementation of systematic instruction following staff training. The implications are discussed.
