That's awesome that you teach them to knit! I can really see why it would work, knitting is very relaxing and soothing, and the possibilities for creativity are endless. I was recently amazed to get a glimpse of how much goes on in the minds of kids with Down's Syndrome, for instance. It is often difficult for them to express themselves, but the boy I am thinking of was a wonder at the piano. I bet a lot of them would create all sorts of amazing things if taught to knit.
They do create all kinds of neat items. It's so amazing to watch them too.
