activities for adults with learning disabilities: having fun, meeting needs

Veteran teachers Sonnet and Taylor describe some of the activities they have developed and used at their local Gateway Club, a social club connected to MENCAP. Cooking includes pizza and vegetable soup; among arts and crafts are Christmas name plaques and door-handle hangers; a balloon race and Granny's shopping case are among the party games. Other games include netball and hoopla as well as computer games. Other categories are special occasions, drama and dance, and outside events. In each case, they warn organizers about potential problems and risks to watch out for. There is no index or bibliography. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
