Mentally challenged art programming

Hi James,

I have been working with senior's who are cognitivly impaired for the last ten years. Personally I have found that the best resource for programming ideas are the people that you are working with themselves. What I often do is have five or ten minutes with the group that I am working with to find out what ideas they have. for example: on a friday morning during coffee time or any other time that is a free conversation time, the main idea is time that they can talk freely and openly. Provide them with some suggestions to start with and usually they will provide you with more ideas then you'll know what to do with. if this fails e-mail me at parris@gold.interlog.com and i'll pull some ideas from my directories for you.
