My Thesis

I wrote my master's thesis on the topic of disabilities and the church. The official title was: Instructing Teachers of Children with Disabilities within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We created a video (see previous post) and a handout on how to help teach children with disabilities in a church setting. We compared whether the video or the handout was more effective in boosting church teacher confidence. What I found was that after even a brief training, individuals felt much more competent to work with someone with a disability. You can read my entire thesis here.

Training Video: Teaching The Spirits

I do my best to provide trainings at churches whenever I can. Due to geographic constraints, I clearly cannot be everywhere. The link below will take you to a training video we made a few years ago on teaching tips for those who teach children with disabilities in a church setting. Click here to view and share it.

Welcome

For over fourteen years now I have had a strong focus in my life on what can be done to support members with disabilities in a church setting. I hope to use this blog to share with others some of the things I have learned along the way.

Let me begin by sharing my most recent project, a video about what it's like to raise a child with disabilities in the church. Click here to enjoy the video.
