In this video we introduce the top five strategies our training videos will offer to help you compassionately and skillfully minister to individuals experiencing disability.
In 1 Corinthians 12, God tells us He arranges the Body of Christ just as it needs to be to thrive. Disability is a part of that. Because a high percentage of families experiencing disability do not feel welcome to gather with a local church, we can make a difference by embracing simple, Christlike ways of welcome.
Routine is a key strategy for providing a hospitable environment for individuals experiencing disability. Predictability is often especially comforting, and there are many practical ways to create and communicate structured time.
In this first video on Communication, we learn how Positive Behavioral Language and Positive Reinforcement can create loving and effective ways to communicate.
Packed with helpful strategies, this second Communication video offers options for communicating in ways that are accessible to and honoring of people experiencing disability.
Being intentional with the structure of a class and the physical layout of a classroom can provide a friendly environment to a child with a disability.
In part two we are given wisdom to welcome individuals with disability into our gatherings by meeting them where they are at, giving them opportunities to respond, and by practicing helpful proximity.
Consistency is key to providing a stable and hospitable environment. In this video, we see the benefits of creating consistent expectations and learn approaches to best care for individuals during times of escalation.
