Encouraging Acceptance of Youth on the Autism Spectrum in Sunday School Classes and Youth Groups
Sunday school teachers, youth leaders, and other adults in faith communities have a vital opportunity to promote understanding and acceptance of young people on the autism spectrum, so that these children may be able to form and sustain positive relationships and find their place in the Body of Christ. Vanessa Yoder offers suggestions to facilitate acceptance and belonging. This full-length article was the source for the above issue of ADNotes on Accepting Autism.
