sense of humour

Here's a nice Jewish joke from awordinyoureye.com:

Moshe went to Edgware cemetery to visit his friend Daniel's grave. When he got there, he was shocked to see that Daniel's new headstone was leaning forward by some 45 degrees and could topple over. So Moshe took some wire from his car, tied one end around the headstone and fastened the other end onto a nearby telephone pole. Then he left. Some days later, two more of Daniel's friends, Abe and Issy came to visit him. Abe took one look at the grave and said to Issy, "That's just like Daniel. He's only been here a short while and already he's got his own phone."

Yes, we're a community of phone-ofiles. And also one that likes a good laugh. But so, of course, does everybody, including people with profound and multiple disabilities. Given that so much humour is based on language, we need to put a bit of extra thought and effort into creating fun and funny opportunities for people with such a high level of disability. This website feature gives some ideas, including suggestions for where else to look to find further inspiration.
