Regarding Individuals
With Disabilities
Painting
is one of the
best craft ideas for disabled adults
and children. You can try out differ-
ent forms of painting, such as oil
painting, faux painting, canvas
painting, acrylic painting and
watercolor painting.
Singing
and Music
can be
good craft ideas for adults with
disabilities. Many disabled people
have achieved a name for them-
selves in the fields of singing and
music by consistent efforts. These
are the forms of art which stay with
the person forever, irrespective of
his or her physique.
Loving God,
You make each living
person in your image, a
seed to build a community
of interdependence and
respect for all life. Guide
our hands to build access
and welcome. Guide our
minds to understand the
power and wisdom of
human vulnerability.
Give us courage to stand
up to the forces willing
to destroy life because
they fear disability or
make judgments about
its "quality."
--Amen
