Zusammenfassung:Children with autism are increasingly being identified in society today. With the increased incidence, churches will be called upon to develop programs that will allow for participation of these individuals. This article presents findings from a descriptive study addressing the participation of children with autism spectrum disorder within religious education activities. Mothers attending four churches shared their perspectives on the involvement of their seven children with autism in Sunday school programs. This article discusses common themes regarding church participation, with recommendations for improving the religious and social integration of children with disabilities within religious education programs.
