$ Autism and the Church Microcourse Part 1 (BeADisciple.com)
June 17 All day
Course Dates:
June 17 – 21, 2024
In today’s world one in five individuals is autistic. The worlds of these individuals, and the worlds of their families, mostly consist of isolation and loneliness. Developing ministries to reach out to these families not only helps us respond to God’s calling, but also gives hope to families who struggle to find hope within their crazy worlds. Learners will gain a basic understanding of autism, an understanding of how they might help these unique persons grow in their faith, and a view of what a basic autism ministry might look like.
To earn .5 CEUs and a completion certificate, 4 daily Blackboard forums will be required along with one Zoom meeting, held on Monday from 6-9 pm Eastern time. The meeting will not be recorded. Learners not interested in the CEU and certificate are welcome to participate in just the Zoom session.
Learners will need to obtain this book: Autism and the Church by Barbara J. Newman, Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew by Ellen Notbalm, and I See Things Differently: A First Look at Autism by Pat Thomas.
This course is eligible for 0.5 CEU.
