The second session of our NTS Nurturing Care/KC initiative included a presentation by Dr. Léon van Omme: Non- and Minimally-Speaking Autistic People in Church.

Beginning with a method of having minimally speaking autistic participants indicate via photos what they thought was important in the church, van Ommen discovered a wide range of elements that proved meaningful through pictures and also saw the method encourage parents and pastors to get to know autistic people in new ways.
