Disability Resource Manual: A Practical Guide for Churches and Church Leaders

This guide was created by Ashley Peterson. It includes definitions of different disabilities, suggestions for relating to that person, and accommodations that can be made within the church. It also provides information for starting a disability ministry, providing care, the theology of disability, and the spirituality of disability. Included is an annotated resource list.

There are now three versions of this text. The first includes more graphics and the second one has clear formatting to make it easier to read. The third version is in a .txt file for increased ease of use with text reading software. You can also peruse the table of contents before downloading the entire manual.
