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!
Kristin
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.

Explore Our Adapted Curriculum
Our Adapted Bible Curriculum is uniquely designed to meet students where they are, sharing the gospel in a developmentally appropriate way for learners with disabilities. Our curriculum is designed with non-speaking students in mind, so we've made sure to pack our lessons with visual supports, communication aids, and hands-on activities, ensuring every child has the opportunity to engage and experience God’s Word.

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.
