How to Welcome, Include, and Catechize Children with Autism

A Parish-Based Approach. Provides pastors, DREs and other parish leaders with a guide for creating a program that addresses the needs of children with physical, developmental and cognitive disabilities and welcomes them into the life of the parish. Helps catechetical leaders understand disabilities and abilities; build relationships with children with special needs; provide one-on-one customized catechesis using existing resources; inspire teens to volunteer; and educate the whole parish. By sharing stories of success and inspiration that affect everyone--pastor, parent, student, teenager, teacher--the author delivers an unexpected result: catechizing children with special needs actually nurtures and revitalizes the faith of the entire parish.
