You could make tibetan prayer flags, where you write a wish on your flag and paint it colourfully.

Civic Currency as ties in with mathematics. This in addition to job preparation programs as a way to help if no work or Unemployment money is there or if a Gov cuts of welfare.

You can make anything that a person who doesn’t have a disability make. What about doing some cross stitch or needle work, or what about some mosaic. I have a learning disability and I have done all of the thing I have said.

Look through the Michael’s craft store website for ideas. They have the crafts ranked for difficulty, too.

LD adults can do most of the same things that non-LD adults can do. Generally, you just need to fine-tune the directions or adapt the nature of the project.
