Youth with disabilities

    All youths have some disabilities and many special abilities. However some disabilities will affect what we do and how we operate. For the most part, each disability is distinct and requires particular adjustments that cannot be generalized. There are good books on how to minister to particular disabilities.
  • Always focus first on the person, not their disability.
  • If possible, prepare a group for someone that will be coming that has a striking disability. Help them realize that there is a person behind the symptoms. Assure them that it isn't “catching.”
  • Most current youth have gone to school with children with every sort of disability and are quite comfortable with them. It is possible for adults to make too much of a situation.
