There are two women in my son’s day program that love jewelry and have nothing to do all day. Can I get the details of how to do it from you? I would be greatful.

R, you might do a search for those types of beads on etsy.com – there’s a huge variety there of every jewelry component you can imagine! 🙂

Six years ago, I worked in a full time position with the mentally/physically challenged in their duplexes. My day ended as I sent them off to work for the day, but I soon discovered that for the entire day at ‘work’ they were expected to stack blocks by color, shapes and sizes or do puzzles, which became redundant and so boring day after day. After reading this, I am going to volunteer my services to teaching them to make their own jewelry. I have tons of beads to share! So it will be fun for all.

THIS IS EXACTLY OUR WORLD! In our little corner of Chalfont PA – Danny strings and I clasp!!!! Our story is on our etsy page (in detail). I was told to place him in an institution over and over again. I found out he likes to string beads and can do tiny ones too! He doesn’t like to use elastic but likes the beading wire and wire…. so we work with what he likes! His favorite color is sparkle (specifically Swarovski). We have sold a few things – and someone just posted a picture of her wearing Danny’s necklace and earrings on our facebook page which truly gives my life true purpose. I was put here to help him in this world. I love him like no other. His autism and mental retardation are severe and brings to the table many ugly things… however, when I see him calming while he strings – life begins to breathe again.

What a lovely story and one that I would like to find out more about. I have some young adults that like to do crafts and I need more information on how to help them. My own son is Developmentally disabled and also one that had an auto accident years ago wants to do something he will feel good about. How can I learn more about this craft to teach them and myself? Thank you for sharing these ideas.
