Does Any of This Sound Familiar?
You want to welcome children with special needs but feel unprepared. You don't know where to start and how to teach all children.
You're overwhelmed trying to run children's ministry and you're unsure if you're the right person for your position.
You're teaching Bible lessons but it's not going as well as you'd like, and you're frustrated trying different ways to teach every child.
You're tired of feeling like you don't know what you're doing.
You spend Saturday nights scouring YouTube and Pinterest for easy ideas.
If it does, then you already know how frustrating it can be to feel ineffective :(

Our resources will give you strategies in one place so you aren't constantly spending time searching.
Be Confident, Prepared, & Effective
Use my experience as an SLP (Speech/Language Pathologist). Children need effective learning materials. And Kidmin Leaders need to know about disabilities without taking a college course. All resources come with ideas of how to use for children in YOUR ministry!
Easily Understand and Adapt Instruction
We give you practical materials to reach children with disabilities. And they all come with instructions that specifically tell whoever works with children with disabilities "what to do and how to do it."
All of Our Resources Include:
EFFECTIVE LANGUAGE

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

VOLUNTEER DIRECTIONS
