Special Needs Ministry for Children
Parent Information Sheet
Who is the Special Needs Ministry program intended for?
Any child, K-6th grade, with developmental or medical disabilities is appropriate for this program. The HIM Ministry is primarily provided so that parents/guardians may attend service and feel their children are being well cared for.
What do we provide?
If your child’s disability is such that he/she is unable to benefit from participating in a traditional Sunday school classroom, he/she may spend the service time in the HIM classroom (currently only available during the 11:15 am service.) The HIM classroom will provide:
• sensory and special learning components
• each child with the opportunity to participate at their ability level
• modified lessons comparable to those taught in the traditional classroom.
If your child’s disability is such that he or she can be integrated, he/she may be paired with an aide or “buddy” and attend an age-appropriate Sunday school class during either the 9:30am or the 11:15am service.
What do we not provide?
• Therapy
• Behavioral modification programs (but will follow through with programs in place as able based on parental guidance and tools provided to us.
• Medical intervention (only in emergency situations.)
What are some examples of diagnoses, which may be appropriate for this ministry?
Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Developmental Delay, Muscular Dystrophy, Cancer, and Down’s syndrome are just a few examples.
How do I enroll my child in Special Needs Ministry?
The first step is to contact Kim McVean at (916) 747-9300 or kmcvean@. She is voluntarily coordinating this program. She will set up an initial meeting and interview time for you, so that you may be able to express your child’s needs and the placement for your child. It is very important that you contact her before your first planned Sunday in the HIM program, so that she can make arrangements and be able to provide your child with the support that he/she needs.
What if I need to miss a Sunday service?
All we ask is that you call Kim as soon as you know you will not be attending to let her know. If it is last minute, please call before 7:45 on Sunday morning or between services for the 11:15 service. This will allow her to make other plans in advance.
