025: More Inclusive Spaces for Kids with Disabilities (Part 1)

/ 40:48 / E26
Creating an inclusive space requires us to think intentionally about our environments, language, resources, leadership, and the culture we’re creating for every kid and family. In this two-part episode of Kids Ministry Answers, we’re tackling a question about how to create more inclusive ministry environments for kids with disabilities and their families. So we asked Nicole Woods and Jena Kitchen to join us to share strategies, tools, and perspective shifts that can help ministries create cultures where every kid and family can truly belong.
QUESTION:
“How can we create a more inclusive ministry for kids with disabilities and their families?”
ANSWER: 
In this episode, we’ll talk about how to…
  1. Evaluate your ministry’s current culture and identify barriers that may keep kids with disabilities and their families from fully belonging
  2. Create more accessible environments using practical tools, visuals, sensory supports, and adapted resources
  3. Listen to and learn from people with disabilities and their families instead of making assumptions about what inclusion should look like
  4. Move beyond individual accommodations toward a ministry culture where disability inclusion shapes your environments, practices, and leadership
