Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

As an autistic mother rearing autistic children in the Faith, Summer Kinard knows firsthand many of the gifts and challenges of life with disabilities. She brings her extensive background in patristic theology and catechesis (B.A. in religion, M.Div., Th.M. in early church history and theology) to skillfully weave together the healing patterns of Holy Tradition with the daily patterns of life with disabilities. Summer has become acquainted with hundreds of Orthodox

families with disabilities through sharing on her website the resources she has developed to make faith accessible to them. At a time when at least twenty percent of people live with disabilities and two percent are autistic, there is an urgent need to apply Church teachings to questions about the care and inclusion of persons with disabilities as full members of Christ’s Body. Summer brings the grace, kindness, and insight of an experienced teacher and mother to

begin answering those questions. Summer Kinard is an Antiochian Orthodox Christian in the Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America. She lives with her husband, Andrew, and five children in Texas.

Accessible Church School: Incarnational Practices for Participating in God by Summer KinardAccessible Church School is an absolutely fantastic and fast read for people looking for practical Sunday School set-ups, lessons, and activities at a variety of price points from free on up. I expected this book to be an explanation of specific ways that teachers could accommodate specific disabilities—and there are some mentions of this, like soft flooring for those who might fall—but the beauty in this book is that the concepts and practices discussed in it increase access to all children, by helping the reader consider how kids respond to different stimuli and what may help them to feel comfortable and able to learn and love God in the classroom.There are many beautiful decorating ideas and classroom procedures, as simple as having silk flowers at the door for children to place in front of an icon as they pray. There are also lots of ideas that would work well for youth group events and even church fair activities. Since the book is such a quick read (half concepts and activities, half photographs of possible layouts, social stories, and other useful visuals), and packed with useful info, I HIGHLY recommend it for the busy parent, teacher, or youth group leader.
