You could have your group use NGT (Nominal group technique).  This usually allows groups to think outside the box creatively and makes use of every member's idea.\n\nAlso, encourage open group communication.  Otherwise, members will not feel comfortable enough to voice creative ideas they may have.  \n\nTry taking the group outside of its normal work or group environment.  For example, if your group is used to working on-site, at schoool, etc , take them off-site to another place, the park, ropes course, the likes.  These things stimulate creative thinking and gets the group working in non-traditional ways.

You really need to specify what disabilities you are trying to provide accomodations for, and what subjects/activities you're involved in.\n\nExcept for people who are severely or profoundly impaired, inclusive activities should be the same activities as everyone else is doing. You just give them a bit more time, or physical supports, or whatever they need to be able to participate successfully.\n\nFor severely or profoundly impaired people, you really have to identify what they really CAN do, and create an activity similar or a part of everyone else's that uses their abilities.\n\nFor example, I have a 4th grade profoundly MR student with microencephaly. She attends the regular ed music class. For musical instrument exploration time, we give her the jingle bells to play when everyone else is working on guitar, violin, keyboards, drums, etc. and her educational assistant helps her know when it's her turn to shake those bells!
