About Me

Hello! I'm Kasey Rose. Since I was a young child, I've always been drawn to, and had a passion for people with special needs. Growing up, one of my sweetest friends had Downs Syndrome and she left a mark on my heart. As an adult, we have fostered several children, adopted a couple, and come alongside many families also walking the journey of raising kids who have experienced trauma. The journey is is filled with lots of love, excitement, and the necessity to repeatedly learn and adapt to new circumstances.

Over the years, I have sought extensive education and experience in how to best support individuals with disabilities, as well as their families. I hold an Associate's of Applied Science in Child Development, a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology, a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction, and am currently in a Doctoral program in pursuit of a degree in Cognition and Instruction. I am certified in Special Education with the TEA, and spent 6 years teaching students ranging from kindergarten through twelfth grade in public schools. In addition, I have served in children's and youth ministries in various capacities, including in pastoral roles, for almost 20 years. A couple of years ago, I had the privilege of leading a Special Needs Ministry workshop of a district KidMin Conference.

It is my hope that churches will be equipped and empowered to not only create spaces where kids can safely participate in ministry activities, but that they would feel a deep sense of belonging to the community, and to Jesus.

Inclusion Program Development

Develop customized procedures and resources for your special-needs ministry, including parent intake forms, individualized support plans, volunteer roles, buddy systems, safety procedures, sensory supports, and ongoing communication practices.

Team Training

Special-needs ministry training equips children’s ministry leaders and volunteers to welcome and support children of all abilities. Participants learn to use appropriate accommodations and modifications, respond to sensory and behavioral needs, and communicate effectively with parents to understand each child’s strengths, needs, and preferred supports.

Accessibility Consulting

Accessibility consulting evaluates the physical, emotional, and sensory accessibility of your children’s ministry environment. Following the evaluation, you will receive a practical, customized plan to reduce barriers and create a safer, more welcoming space where children of all abilities can participate, belong, and grow in faith.
