Place of Worship Inclusion: A place for every child
Join Dr. Holmes as she interviews Beth Golik from Key Ministry on creating a place of worship that welcomes every child. Beth offers practical tips for ministry leaders on how to create a welcoming atmosphere for families with children with hidden disabilities such as autism and tools and strategies that are not cost-prohibitive. From the website to the parking lot to the building accessibility, the place of worship is communicating about its willingness and ability to serve families with different needs. Beth will provide insight, tools, and strategies for serving the family and child with special needs.
