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 spend Saturday nights scouring YouTube and Pinterest for easy ideas.
You're tired of feeling like you don't know what you're doing.
If it does, then you already know how frustrating it can be to feel ineffective :(

Teach All Children
The Adapted Word Membership
I am church volunteer and SLP
SLP=Speech/Language Pathologist. Once I started volunteering at church, I realized children needed effective learning materials. And Kidmin Leaders needed to know about special needs without taking a college course.
