Q: How do I adapt a lesson for a child, youth, or adult with a disability?
Teachers and leaders are to use Church-approved curriculum and resources. However, lessons and activities can be adapted to fit individual circumstances. For example, a child with an attention deficit disorder may need more songs or crafts related to the lesson. A youth with autism may need to communicate using pictures related to the lesson or a teacher may need to use more visual resources.

Q: How do I submit a question?
This section of the disability Web site attempts to answer as many questions as possible from members with disabilities, their caretakers, and leaders and teachers. It would be impossible to answer them all. However, if you wish to submit a question to the disability Web site, it will be reviewed by the Church’s Disability Committee for possible inclusion.
