A Welcoming Place – Autistic Young People in Church

LOW STOCK of hard copy 2019 edition – new edition planned for later in 2026!

‘A Welcoming Place’ is designed to help you create an environment in your youth and children’s work which effectively includes everyone, including neurodivergent children such as those on the autistic spectrum. The publication endeavours to give a snapshot of the world through the eyes of the autistic child, and thus helps to understand their behaviours and what we can do to minimise their distress and capitalise on their gifts and strengths. It includes practical strategies and proven approaches, as well as a section on a Biblical theology of disability to help your young people appreciate God’s heart for people with additional needs, and their place within the Body of Christ. Finally, there is a comprehensive index, enabling the resource to be used as a handy reference book as and when situations arise.
