A major portion of the manual consists of instructional sequences for approximately 100 motor skills in the areas of facial control, head control, posture, limb control, locomotion, digital control, and bowel and bladder control. Each instructional sequence includes the name of the skill, a list of prerequisite skills, a recommended instructional approach, a list of appropriate adaptive equipment, a list of relevant abstracts, and a detailed task analysis. A listing of manufacturers of adaptive equipment is keyed to skill areas.
