Since I don't know the disability level, I'll assume they are ABLE to accomplish what I am suggesting, and I am posting to the list rather than just to Carl because I have had such fun with these activities. The books are for children, but the activities are easily adaptable for adults. Try these, Carl: MathArts by MaryAnn F. Kohl. You'll want advice from an Early Childhood teachers about collecting and using "junque" and be prepared to spend more time than you first estimate. Math Applications in the Home by Mary Jerse Schwartz. Helps people learn the kinds of math they will use everyday. Cooking Art and Science Art by MaryAnn Kohl also have math applications. Music (along with soothing our souls) is a wonderful way to teach math, as well. All of these methods reduce math anxiety and allow people to see that math is very practical. Good Luck.
