Most members of the Church have had the opportunity to be a teacher in one form or another. Whether it’s the kind of teaching that takes place in Sunday School, Family Home Evening, or with a pack of Webelos, there are many challenges to effective teaching. Messages are the most effective when tailored to the individual needs of those you are working with. For this reason, over the past year, many families, teachers, and leaders have turned to disabilities.lds.org for a tailored resource as they seek to understand, teach, and love each individual.
