You really need to specify what disabilities you are trying to provide accomodations for, and what subjects/activities you're involved in.\n\nExcept for people who are severely or profoundly impaired, inclusive activities should be the same activities as everyone else is doing. You just give them a bit more time, or physical supports, or whatever they need to be able to participate successfully.\n\nFor severely or profoundly impaired people, you really have to identify what they really CAN do, and create an activity similar or a part of everyone else's that uses their abilities.\n\nFor example, I have a 4th grade profoundly MR student with microencephaly. She attends the regular ed music class. For musical instrument exploration time, we give her the jingle bells to play when everyone else is working on guitar, violin, keyboards, drums, etc. and her educational assistant helps her know when it's her turn to shake those bells!

I have an autistic cousin, and ive learned that they love to touch and feel things. So you could do an activity where they have lots of varying feels like cotton, different types of plastics cereals. They could make snowman from different colored puffballs. They can string cheerios and eat them. They can make bird feeders. Christmas Trees. There is so much. The ideas really are endless

my former highschool (and most highschools in the area) have a program/club called Partners Club, where not only kids with disabilitys (from mild to severe) can get together and do fun things. but also mainstream kids! one year i volunteered to coach bowling for most of the special education children, i'm not very good at bowling, but it was SO much fun!\nthey put all kinds of activities and events together! you should try to do something like this.

You could also ask at your local school.   Although they are children not adults, they have to deal with the same problems.   My local school has a SENCO who deals with children with disabilities.  There should be one at your local primary or senior school who may be able to give you some more pointers - after all, they must go to outside agencies for help at times!\n\nOf course, you could also try organisations set up to help people with disabilities and other problems\n\nGood luck with your assignment.\n\nOh, and if you find any of the answers useful, please do not forget to include Yahoo! in your sources!!!!   If nothing else, it shows initiative!

there are several software and devices to help the handicapped with computers. Read the following excellent article by Murphy:\nhttp://courses.cs.vt.edu/~cs3604/lib/Disabilities/murhpy.AT.html

It depends on what sort of activities you seek.  \n\nAre you looking for therapeutic or educational activities, or are you looking for social activities?\n\nYou might want to search for Cerebral Palsy activities, as they are often geared toward people with nonverbal or quadriplegic disabilities.  \n\nAnother thing to look into, if it's at all possible, is horseback riding.  It tends to be extremely beneficial for those who try it as a method of pleasurable therapy.

It sounds like discrimination no matter how you describe it or what they advise you to do or not to do. I would contact your local disabilities office and report the discrimination... they would then be able to give you the best advice on how to proceed.

why are you behaving this way?  Do you have special needs  (educationally)?  If you actually knew someone who has a significant disability, I would hope that you would not behave the way that you are!!!!!

Justin, be honest about being disabled.  Check out places like netfriendships.com  and create your home page.

mani and pedi's are always fun! Maybe even a facial! Get some snacks and drinks and have a blast!

To find more special needs adults to test this item out you could contact local "sheltered workshops" and employers who specifically hire mentally challenged adults (Genuardi Markets in my area).  If you want to present your aid to publishers or marketing people, it would help to have tested it out on your target population.\n\nBesides special needs adults who have always needed help you could also look into tthe use of this type of material by occupational therapists and those helping stroke patoents rehab in addition to alzheimers patients.\n\nwhat about contacting university masters or phd students in these fields to see if they could collaborate with you?\noccupational therapy, geriatric medicine, adulthood & aging, special education   I'm sure I'm missing some but you get the idea.

Don't let your disability limit you to a job working from home.\n\nThere are government and private agencies who help place people with disabilities in employment. In  Australia, CRS (www. crsaustralia.gov.au) is the government department which can help you.

I think it differs by where you are located but your best bet is to find out who your ADA Coordinator is and contacting them about getting special accommodations for those with disabilities. If I knew where you were located I might be able to be more help.
