Special Needs Children
A Special Needs Child is a child with medical, mental, emotional, behavioral, or educational needs that could require extra on-going attention.
Here are a few links to help assist and educate our Ministers of Youth and our Youth Pointe Coordinators. This by no means covers everything – it is only here to give you insight and understanding to a world many of our youth reside in. “Thank you” to Lady Morgaine of Flaming Gryphon and Lady AElfwyn the Needleworker for their assistance in researching these sites.
