    The only experience with teaching the developly disabled people I've
    had was with similar concernes, attention spam, motor skills,
    communication skills eg.. I found that things like beads and soft
    wires like Bead Alon or Tiger Tail used to make rings, bracelets etc.
    was a good place to start. You get to know the specific skill sets
    and abilities or you group and that will lead you to projects that
    might be more appropriate to their abilities. You might find this to
    be a good learning experience for yourself as well. I can also say
    that you will get a lot insight into yourself. This can be very
    rewarding emotionally and personally. Most of them I've delt with
    were like confused little children trapped in bigger bodies. An
    example was one of my uncles stopped developing mentally when he was
    about 6 years old. It didn't matter that his body was that of a 65
    year old man. He was still a 6 year old struggeling with this older
    mans body that he didn't know how to control.I want to thank you you
    for seriously looking at this opportunity. OK off my soap box.
