In this video you will learn ways to communicate with children with special needs in your ministry and throughout your church.
Resources
Below you will find a document of pictures depicting how to sign common words in sign language. You could cut out the images, laminate, hole punch then put the cards together on a key ring. This could hang in a place where all volunteers can access it when needing to know how to sign a common word or phrase!

Below you will find a prayer book filled with picture icons. This is a wonderful resource to utilize in your children's ministry as a way to engage all children in prayer! You can print, laminate, and bind prayer books and let the children participate in prayer by pointing to the icons or by marking them with a dry-erase marker.
