Young Women Who Have Disabilities

There is a new page in the Young Woman section of LDS.org titled Young Women Who Have Disabilities. The page includes this statement:

Young women who have disabilities are normally included in their regular classes. Exceptions may be made with the approval of the parents and the priesthood leaders. Flexibility may be needed in utilizing the approved programs to meet the needs of these young women.

There is also a reference to more information in the Church Handbook of Instructions.

Additionally, on the Young Woman site are a number of pictures of young women with disabilities participating in young woman activities. You can see the pictures at:

• Youth Leadership at Young Woman Camp
• Responsibilities of Class Presidencies under Preparing Youth to Lead,
• and in the Modify Goals to Individual Needs section in the Interactive Lessons.

Good work to the Young Woman's organization!
