Alisha
I was first exposed to the wonderful resources and knowledge Lexi brings to the table while scrolling instagram! I just knew that as I started an Inclusive Ministry, I wanted to be a part of whatever Lexi was creating. The resources, downloads and adapted books have really pushed the way not only myself, but my leader see how our ministry impacts families. I can’t thank you enough for trailblazing the road for Inclusive ministry!

I think the greatest benefit of my Adapted Way membership is just knowing that I am not alone. Knowing that there are so many others in different stages of developing the Special Needs Ministry that the Lord has laid on their hearts is such a gift. The lessons and resources have also given me a place to start with confidence. I am so grateful.

I have loved being a part of The Adapted Way [Membership]. I still have so much to learn about such a wide range of disabilities and have so appreciated all the information I have been able to learn so far. Every time I get to spend time working through the material, I feel a step closer to understanding how our ministry can help incorporate and best serve those with disabilities within our church and ministry.

I have loved being a part of The Adapted Way [Membership]. I still have so much to learn about such a wide range of disabilities and have so appreciated all the information I have been able to learn so far. And that is despite being so far behind on the modules as they have come out! But every time I get to spend time working through the material, I feel a step closer to understanding how our ministry can help incorporate and best serve those with disabilities within our church and ministry.
We have a fairly small children's ministry still, so I have really appreciated whenever the lessons incorporate ways that we can include our students with disabilities and help them feel a part of our small classes, rather than assuming we are able to have a separate room or class dedicated to their needs.
