My friend Julie (who serves as the inclusion coordinator for special-needs families at our church) and I recorded a video for all the VBS teachers and helpers to get an overview of how to best include kids with invisible disabilities! I edited the one for our church down to a shorter version that anyone could use to help your volunteers understand the basics of inclusion. You can check out both versions below!
