Questions & Answers

Question : How do I, as a disabled pastor, start a ministry for those with disabilities?
I have been led to start a ministry in Philadelphia, PA whose primary purpose is to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of those with physical and developmental challenges. I myself have a mild case of Cerebral Palsy. I have been and still am a pastor, and I have been a history teacher. I am a husband, father, and grandfather. My aim is to develop programs that will allow those with disabilities to discover that there are more letters in ability then there are in dis. What I need to know is, How do I go about making this mission a reality? I need an accessible building, an adaptable van, braille printer, TTY machines, and computers that can be adapted to meet the special needs of those who will be using them.

Answer:
Contact other pastors and let them know what you are doing. They might know people with disabilities who are reticinent about heading out and who might be more readily available for church if they knew someone who truly understood them would be there for them. Also, most cities have a religious council board that is made up of various religions. Their meetings are usually open to the public; you can go and speak with them. As for the building and equipment, I can't help you with that one. You may need to start in your livingroom. You can probably apply with various agencies. Is there a national agency for the blind? They should have a list of grants that are available.

Question : Do you know someone with mental disabilities and / or special needs who lack motor skills?
Do you know anybody with mental disabilities / special needs who have limited motor skills? Say for instance, he / she cannot comb his / her hair, button his / her shirt, tuck his / her shirt in, cannot hold a fork and knife for long, cannot shave, any of that? Does his / her parent / guardian do it for them? Does someone you know with special needs who is mentally or physically handicapped need help with certain things? Tell me what you know, and I will give you some possible solutions.

Answer:
yes, I know several folks in this boat. Occupational therapy is what I always suggest.

Question : What are some exercises I can do to train people to be more sensitive to people with disabilities?
I've been assigned to do this training, and my thought is to try to get the people to empathize with the people who have mental and physical disabilities. Anyone know any good excersizes i can do with people to have them "walk a mile" in the shoes of someone with disabilities? Thanks

Answer:
You didn't say if this training is for children or for adults. The links to web sites in an earlier response could be a good starting place. I would also suggest that you contact local agencies that provide services for people with disabilities; when I worked for our local chapter of United Cerebral Palsy, for example, part of my job was to do "Ability Awareness" trainings for schools, park and recreation programs, etc. Besides UCP, look for local phone listings of agencies like ARC and Easter Seals. Ask them for any resources they may have. Our area used to do an annual "Barrier Awareness Day," which was oriented toward adults. People with a variety of disabilities, such as blindness, deafness, and mobility impairments, were paired with non-disabled adults for the day. The non-disabled people were given the same "disabling condition" for the day; they would have to use a wheelchair, or have their hearing impaired by sound-muffling headsets, have their vision impaired by darkened or distorted lenses, etc. Then they would accompany the person with the actual disability for the day. All the things that we able-bodied people with intact senses take for granted become much more evident - how hard it is to navigate the sidewalks and get into many buildings, or to get a drink of water from a drinking fountain, when you are using a wheelchair; how isolating and sometimes hazardous it is to be unable to hear; how difficult it is to find your way in a new environment when you are blind, etc. For both children and adults, it's great if you can have a person with a disability be a guest for your training. Ask them what they wish people knew about people with disabilites. For example, people often treat people who have mobility impairments or sensory impairments as if they were also mentally retarded. For example, if a person in a wheelchair is having lunch with an able-bodied person, the waiter will often ask the able-bodied person, "What can I get for your friend?" rather than directly asking the person for their order. There are so many examples of well-meaning but misguided interactions. For children, there are many activities you can do to simulate disabilities; for example, threading a needle or buttoning a shirt while wearing socks on your hands gives some idea of what it's like to have a motor-impairing condition like cerebral palsy. Having kids read aloud from stories where all the words are written backwards (ecnO nopu a emit) is a little like some learning disabilities. The thing I always emphasized in doing ability awareness trainings is "people first language." All human conditions and abilities are just a continuum; when you look around any group of people, some are artistic, some athletic, some creative, some excel at math and science, others at language. It's the same with people who have diagnosed or more clearly noticeable disabilites. They also have many strengths and abilities in addition to the conditions that make some things more difficult. So try to remember to refer to the person first, and the disability as a description ("a boy with autism" instead of "an autistic boy" or "an autistic;""a woman who uses a wheelchair" instead of "a cripple" or "a wheelchair bound lady.") It's great that you are taking on this project! I wish you success!
