Subject: art & crafts for severely disabled
Hi all
A friend of mine has started a part time job teaching Art to severely disabled adults.
These are people who have both physical and mental disabilities, and who are capable of only very limited communication with her.
Her employers don't seem to be able to give her much guidance on what her students are capable of or might want to do. She has some experience of teaching Art as therapy, but from a quite different perspective.
She asked me to see whether there is any info available on the internet that might give her some ideas etc.
I'm sure there are mudcatters that can point me in some useful directions.
So if you know of any useful sources of information or links - or if you have any experience in this sort of area - or even any general advice - I'd be very grateful & will pass the info on.

Cheers
