The Inclusion Lab: Interactive Workshops for Churches & Organizations

The Inclusion Lab Workshop header

Families with disabilities often decide whether to return to a church within the first ten minutes of arrival. Is your environment truly welcoming, or are there hidden barriers preventing families from experiencing your community?

What the Workshop Includes:

  • Strategic Adaptation: Group activities to customize your programs for all abilities.
  • Facility Audit: A collaborative walkthrough to identify and solve physical barriers.
  • Empathy Simulation: Hands-on exercises to experience the “visitor perspective.”
