Families with special needs would likely say their core needs are very similar to neurotypical families—to be seen and known, and to belong in community.
Families affected by disability need support to get through each day. Your youth ministry could be one of their many supports, helping their student make connections with the Lord and with others.
Enfolding students with disabilities will strengthen your youth ministry and give your entire church a vision for God’s kingdom, bringing God’s diverse people together to glorify and enjoy him.
