We will work with the children in your Sunday School or youth group to help them understand and include a specific individual with unique gifts and needs. This may include providing information to peers and families that honors and celebrates the individual, leading age-specific activities that increase understanding among peers, and discussing steps forward.
We offer a variety of workshop and training topics as well as specific topics by request.

Team). The G.L.U.E. process is outlined in the G.L.U.E. Training Manual and DVD.
