With children and youth, the best place to start is with a Spiritual Individualized Education Plan (IEP). When supporting adults, the best way to determine what supports are needed is to talk to them directly. Think about what typical adults their age are doing and start there.

Most of the time, a separate classroom is not needed! We recommend that individuals with disabilities learn, worship, and serve alongside their typical peers.

Use the Spiritual IEP to help determine what each person needs for support.

For children or youth, start with the Spiritual IEP, a 15-question form that starts a conversation to help determine what each person needs for support.

For adults, be honest and ask for the specific accommodations you need. Often support is not offered because they simply do not know what is needed.
