* Review strategies both within and outside of the field of applied behavior analysis.
* Review some recent concerns regarding modality selection (including the explosive use of SGDs) in terms of both logic and research regarding effective teaching strategies.
* Review the type of evidence that supports various strategy packages as well as modalities.
* Review several recent publications and point out what is still missing from the evidence-based literature.
