The local church is recognizing the significant lack of inclusion surrounding those with cognitive disabilities. However, they do not know where to start. While their motives are pure, they do not realize that programming is not the answer to truly knowing and loving the disability community. Through my lived experience, education, and occupational background, I have created trainings for churches to begin to understand the disability community and launch their ministry.
Disability Sensitivity Training
The trainings I provide churches includes, but are not limited to:
Disability Terms
- Definitions
- Physical vs. Cognative
- Basic Terminology and Information
- Parents, Siblings, Caregivers
General Skills
- Communication Styles
- Tools vs. Toys
- Community Care
- Co-Regulation and Deescalation
Basics to Get Started
- Outreach
- Connections
- Resources
- Q&A
By entering into these trainings, your church will be able to quickly understand that they already have the resources needed to be fully inclusive and adaptive for the disability community furthering the true desire of the Church universal.
**personalized and smaller group trainings are available upon request**
Ministry Consultation
Beginning and/or maintaining a disability ministry at your church can be difficult.
With my years of experience and education, I will do an audit of your current ministry, or help you set easy step by step plans.
All consultations are based on individuals needs and after the FREE initial consultation meeting for assessment.
Speaking
One of my passions and calls in life is to advocate and educate the church on disability theology, application, full inclusion, and adaptability.
My favorite quote is by Brene Brown, “One day you will tell the story of how you overcame what you went through and it will be someone else’s survival guide.”
Through my experience and education, specifically working on my dissertation on Disability in Scripture, I will be able to share applicable lessons through narration and or preaching.
