Full Inclusion Ministry Paper Instructions

You will create a full inclusion plan for a ministry program in a fictional church (based on a real local church) that specifically addresses a hypothetical child with special needs who is already active in the church's children's ministry program. Select a disability which interests you or with which you feel called to work. Use the textbook and peer-reviewed research to address the following areas in relation to the disability: etiology, prevalence, characteristics, prognosis, current research, and social dynamics. Discuss the current church and children's ministry (including a mission statement); required elements; the specific disability chosen; and how you will work with the family to set, measure, and assess goals at the child and program level. Outline a 1-year and a 5-year plan for the growth of the ministry, including 3-5 measurable goals and a plan for evaluating those goals.

Include a title page, an abstract page, at least 14 full pages of content, and a reference page. The completed project must be 15-20 pages. Additional creative graphics or tables that you find helpful may also be included (in addition to the 15 pages). This assignment must be in current APA format and must have a minimum of 5 current (2010-present publication dates), peer-reviewed/scholarly resources. The textbook and the Bible must also be used as sources. The list of sources on the reference page must exactly match the sources cited in the text of the paper. Completion of the assignment will improve research and communication skills while increasing your knowledge of a disability of special interest.
