The Center for Leadership Excellence presents a webinar with Sarah Flannery…

About the Webinar:

It can be difficult even to talk about disability, much less design a ministry environment that is truly inclusive of all types of physical and mental abilities we encounter in young people. Through a combination of storytelling and research, this webinar will equip those who lead ministries with children and youth to create truly accessible ministry environments. Topics will include respectful language for disability, inclusive options for a variety of situations, intergenerational disability ministry, and recommended voices and resources for continued learning.
