| Biblical Counseling: Caring for Children with Disabilities* EBC0448 One of the most emotionally challenging moments in the life of a parent is when he or she hears the words, “Your child is disabled.” The diagnosis of a child with a disability disrupts the everyday life and plans of the parents, often forever. In addition to the wide variety of cognitive and/or physical limitations a child with special needs may have, are the needs of the family. Finances, fatigue, loneliness, and despair can all intensify stress levels. This course will seek to address these issues from a practical and Biblical perspective while providing a variety of resource options. 0.5 CEU. |
