About the Creator

Loved & Lifted Abilities was created from the intersection of faith, education, and special needs ministry. This work flows from both professional experience and a deep conviction that every child deserves access to biblical truth in ways they can understand and receive.

I am a Christian special education teacher with graduate training in severe developmental disabilities including autism spectrum disorders, and an Educational Specialist degree. I have served children with diverse learning needs in both educational and church settings and have witnessed firsthand the challenges ministries face when supporting emotional regulation and inclusion.

My heart for this work is rooted in Scripture and shaped by experience. I have seen families quietly withdraw from churches not because they lacked faith, but because support was not available. Loved & Lifted Abilities exists to help churches respond with understanding, structure, and compassion—so children are welcomed, not unintentionally excluded.

Every resource created through Loved & Lifted Abilities is designed to support the Church in serving children well—gently, faithfully, and with respect for each child’s God-given design.
