Description
A how-to guide to integrate children and youth with special needs into church programs and activities, including worship.
Includes how to train volunteers and staff for hands-on work with children and youth who have special needs.
Provides a theological grounding for the inclusion of people with learning differences and disabilities in the life of a congregation.
Integrating children and teens with learning differences into church
programs is a growing priority for nearly all congregations, large and
small, yet many feel ill-equipped to “manage” those with special needs
in their classrooms, programs and worship.
This new guidebook for churches is designed to help integrate children
and teens with learning differences—and their families—into the fabric
of everyday church life. A useable on-the-ground resource for church
leaders with specific suggestions, samples, and processes for adapting
curricula, training volunteers, and supporting parents and caregivers, this
guide is grounded in theological principles for the inclusion of people with
disabilities in the life of a congregation. It begins by focusing on human
relationships instead of programs. Expanding the church’s awareness
and understanding of inclusion is done with respect and achieved
by extending the gospel of welcome to all. An extensive annotated
bibliography of support materials is included.
