Christine, my only personal experience is with Developmentally Disabled (We might say “slow”), but I’ve heard of OS’s with psychiatric populations. In both cases the Open Space worked just as usual, and people seemed surprised that the participants were more functional in Open Space than they were usually. Made sense to me.

How did it go ? How did you prepare it ? I am asking because during pre-work of an open space, the topic came out, as one of the organizer is working with them in order to help them be included in the society as any other citizen. Of course I understand the idea and I second it, but I wonder how to prepare it (and if we have enough time for that...) Christine --
