This is THE best resource for those starting or serving in a special needs ministry. Thorough, written by a pastor who gets it, and has decades of experience in truly incorporating and welcoming EVERYONE into his congregation, even the schizophrenic, which sadly, many in the church are afraid of or do not understand. I have been honored to hear Jim Pierson speak and teach at the BASS convention in the SF Bay area, and this book is a must-have for the resource library of anyone serving the special needs population.

I highley recommend this book for anyone who is teaching children with disabilities. The book gives you tools that will aid you with dealing with several disabilities and how to adapt your classroom for the child. It also address inappropriate behavior that is directed toward the child that has the disability as well as how to expalin to the other children of the class about disablities.
