Abstract
  • Children with disabilities and other varying needs often experience barriers to participation in traditional church services. For a small to medium sized church with no special needs ministry, an inclusive children’s ministry and some small adaptations to service delivery can minimize barriers to participation and encourage a sense of community and clear role identity for children. To complete this doctoral capstone experience (DCE), an occupational therapy student (OTS) developed a training program to equip volunteers in the children’s ministry with the knowledge and skills necessary to teach children with varying needs and increase accessibility to the church site and curriculum. Volunteers who participated in a foundational training session reported an increase in confidence, knowledge, and a belief that the training program would make the church service delivery more accessible to all children. Church staff and volunteers will continue to implement the foundational training and other training sessions in the church along with a sensory room to increase participation and accessibility.
