Let All the Children Come to MeThis book blends theory and research with practical ideas and strategies for teaching children with special needs and places it in a spiritual and Christ-centered context. It is said that everyone has a story to tell, a voice that deserves to be heard. There are many thousands of children with special needs who have long been ignored, rejected and excluded from our schools, our communities and sadly from our Bible classes. We believe that these children are loved deeply and completely by our Lord and that they, too, are called to come unto Him. This book speaks to the heart and to the head. Teachers and pastors will find inspiration and information, reminding them that God calls us to include all children, no matter the challenge. In addition, the book includes wonderfully practical elements with many ideas that can be easily integrated into any classroom. By combining philosophy and strategies this book will equip the typical church volunteer teacher to meet the needs of all the children in her classroom. |
