Parent's Network
Congregations interested in starting their own Special Needs Parents Network will receive help through the newly published e-book, Guidelines for Establishing a Special Needs Parents Network, written by IDDM member Bill Truebenbach. Bill offers many helpful ideas as to purpose - allow for those who have children with special needs another avenue of spiritual healing through God’s Word and through other Christians who are on this journey or have faced this journey or may have qualifications to help with the journey - structure, discussion starters, resources, and a sample church survey. Congregations that start parent networks are encouraged to share this information with IDDM for adding to our Resource Directory.
