The goal of the Religion and Spirituality Division's Cooperative Resource Exhibit is to bring together resources from many different organizations and publishing houses that are currently available to anyone involved in ministries or religious services with people with developmental disabilities and their families. Resources can include books, journals, audio-visual resources, religious education curricula, program brochures, etc. We also invite resources on areas such as spirituality, advocacy, ethics, family supports, community building, and education that may be of use to clergy, families, and laypersons in congregations.
To find out more about the Exhibit and learn how you can submit materials, download the 2007 Entry form (PDF) and return in by April.
View the contents of the exhibit from this year by clicking on the 2007 Exhibit below.

The resource list below allows you to order the AAIDD Religion and Spirituality Division newsletter if you are not a member of the AAIDD Division. Membership is strongly encouraged, but we recognize some clergy, families and advocates are not full time in ministries and services with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The Division also sells a number of out of print resources and videos that are still excellent. They are on the second page of the Order Form.
