Training Technology: Direct Skills Teaching
 Mikal Cohen, Karen Danley, and Patricia Nemec
Direct skills teaching is different from behavior modification, conditioning, or training that shapes behavior without a person's full control. Direct skills teaching involves individuals in comprehensive instructional activities, enabling them to perform skills when they choose to do so. This technology teaches practitioners how to help consumers acquire and use the skills needed to be successful and satisfied in residential, educational, vocational, and social environments. Practitioners learn how to outline skill content, plan the lesson, program skill use, and encourage the individuals' participation throughout the teaching process.
