The best general advice is: Just do it. Start by identifying a few barriers and working to remove those barriers and go from there.

See this handy list below for beginning a parish disability ministry.

1. Research and Education:
   - Begin by researching the needs and challenges faced by individuals with disabilities within your parish and surrounding community.
   - Educate yourself and your team about the relevant Church teachings and guidelines on disability ministry.

2. Build a Core Team:
   - Assemble a dedicated group of individuals who are passionate about serving persons with disabilities. This team will be the driving force behind your ministry.

3. Engage with the National Catholic Partnership on Disability (NCPD):
   - Contact the NCPD to access their resources, guidance, and support. They can provide valuable insights and materials for starting a disability ministry.

4. Parish Leadership Support:
   - Seek approval and support from your parish priest or leadership. It's essential to have their endorsement and involvement in the ministry.

5. Develop a Mission Statement and Goals:
   - Clearly define the mission, vision, and specific objectives of your disability ministry. Ensure they align with the teachings and principles of the Catholic Church.

6. Training and Formation:
   - Equip your team with appropriate training on disability awareness, pastoral care, and relevant skills to effectively promote belonging for persons with disabilities in your community.

7. Outreach and Inclusivity:
   - Reach out to individuals and families with disabilities in your parish and invite them to be part of your ministry. Ensure an inclusive approach, respecting the dignity and needs of all individuals.

8. Accessibility and Accommodations:
   - Assess and improve the physical accessibility of your parish facilities. Work to eliminate barriers to attending, participating in, serving at, and otherwise being part of Masses, events, and all parish activities.

9. Programming and Services:
   - Develop and implement programs to meet the needs of persons with disabilities. This could include support groups, special liturgies, faith formation, and social activities. Remember that it is preferable to ensure access to opportunities open to the whole parish instead of creating parallel experiences. 

10. Advocacy and Community Building:
    - Advocate for the rights and inclusion of persons with disabilities in the broader community. Collaborate with local disability organizations and agencies to create a supportive network.
