(dis) Abilities and the Gospel - How to Bring People with Special Needs Closer to Christ

Written by two mothers of children with special needs, this warm, practical handbook helps Latter-day Saint families and church leaders teach the gospel to individuals with autism, Down syndrome, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other disabilities. It offers concrete teaching strategies, communication tools, and heartfelt real-life stories covering baptism, priesthood, missions, temple attendance, sacrament meeting survival, family scripture study, marriage, and sibling relationships—all grounded in the belief that every person is a beloved child of God.

• Written by two LDS moms of special-needs children—one an autism parent, one a special ed professional—who met online and never met in person until the book was done.
• The only faith-based, LDS-specific guide addressing baptism, priesthood, temple, and mission questions for members with disabilities.
• Practical, ready-to-use classroom tools (PECS, power cards, narrative stories) that any teacher can implement Sunday.
• Ends with a tissue-worthy collection of parents' testimonies and poems about their special children.

Perfect for an LDS parent, Primary teacher, or ward leader trying to include and teach a child or adult with autism, Down syndrome, or another disability at church.
