“…Rather than adopting a prescribed set of actions, congregations should undertake a process of colla borative reflection through which they consider existing barriers, pressing needs, available resources, and desired destinations that are specific to their faith community. Carter (2017) reviewed multiple tools and processes (sometimes referred to as "inclusion audits" or "congregational assessments") that can provide different lenses through which congregations can reflect on the ways and places they gather. As shown in Table 16.2, these reflection approaches focus on (a) architecture and accessibility, (b) personal attitudes, (c) indicators of welcome, (d) congregational commitment, (e) dimensions of belonging, and (f) collective actions.…”

Although available studies each operationalize congregational participation in different ways, attendance at religious services is usually quite prevalent. For example, in his analyses of multiple waves of the National Survey of Children's Health, Whitehead (2018) found that 68% of children with autism spectrum disorder and 74% of children with intellectual disability attended religious services at least annually. Likewise, Carter et al. (2015) analyzed data from the National Core Indicators project that addressed the religious participation of more than 12,000 adults with IDD who were receiving services from state agencies. Almost half (48%) of these adults had attended a religious service at least once in the past month and 35% attended three or more times per month. However, whenever congregational participation rates among individuals with and without disabilities are compared, a sizable participation gap has been documented (Brucker, 2015; National Organization on Disability, 2010;Whitehead, 2018). In every comparative study, individuals with IDD are substantially less involved. None of these studies addressed the specific religious traditions (e.g., Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism) with which individuals with IDD affiliated.

“…These barriers restrict the ability of individuals with disabilities to carry out their religious beliefs (Vogel, Polloway, & Smith, 2006). Although religious books contain verses about including individuals with disabilities in society, sufficient access to religious experiences is not found (Carter, 2017;Kim, 2002).…”

Disability as a concept has been defined and explained from different perspectives over the years and cannot be regarded just with an individual focus. It should also be considered environmentally and socially. Spirituality and religion have a significant importance culturally for people with disabilities. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explain the term disability in detail, its religious and spiritual aspects, and the use of these concepts in the rehabilitation process. Research has demonstrated spirituality and religion to be two terms that are a powerful and effective personal resource for accepting and dealing with issues regarding disability. According to studies, individuals have furthermore reported having a disability to provide them with a benefit of gaining a different point of view toward life. Because religion and spirituality are vital psychological resources that cannot be underestimated, they have been used in rehabilitation psychology as a coping mechanism. For this reason, this paper aims to provide knowledge about the concept of disability, its relationship with religion and spirituality, and its use in rehabilitation psychology.
