Articles on Disability

Our team of guest speakers for TEF Retreats not only provide exceptional teaching and encouragement at events, they also write well on the topic of disability. We will post their articles, along with other writings, as they are made available. Our hope is that you find these helpful in better understanding disability in light of the Bible but also the practical implications for the Church’s role in providing shepherding and caring for those with special needs.
