The Anglican Church Disability Ministry Educators have further resources for the wider church, including six new posters.

Resources available here and attached below. 

Down Syndrome

October is Down Syndrome Awareness month. It is good to be aware of how we can assist people with Down Syndrome to be part of the church.

Cerebral Palsy (CP)

In October World Cerebral Palsy Day was on 6th and it is the Appeal month for the Cerebral Palsy Society in New Zealand “Be seen, be green”. The Society supports people with CP to reach their potential and have independence, freedom and choice. CP is common and very varied. It helps to be aware that some people may use a variety of ways to communicate, and people are encouraged to listen.

Vision Environment.

World Sight Day was om 10 October. We still have an opportunity to think about what can help make our visual environment accessible as possible for all people.

Neurodiversity Awareness Cover
