“What makes a child gifted and talented may not always be good grades in school, but a different way of looking at the world and learning” (Grassley). Special needs children are picked on and made fun of more than what people consider normal children. The children with special needs are sometimes made to feel ugly, unwanted, different, and many other things by their peers. Our goal is to make the special needs children feel wonderful about themselves. Make them believe that they are just as beautiful as any other person in this world. We are offering completely free photo shoots to special needs children and their families. The sessions will range from about 20 minutes to an hour and a half long, depending on how many different pictures the

Just because others have something mean to say and do not give the specials needs child a shot at being their friend does not mean no one should befriend them. No one knows, that special needs child may just have more in common with someone that would be considered normal than most people and become the best of friends with that person.
People in the community could help make a huge difference in the lives of the children.

For a family with a young child with special needs life can get hard. The worry of people picking on and bullying the child is always there and whether or not they have fun with other people. “Parents hoped their child would: ‘be one of the kids’ (Parent no. 7); ‘feel confident and accepted in society’
(Parent no. 1); and ‘learn how to behave by watching and copying kids with no delays’ (Parent no.
7)” (Blackmore, Aylward, and Grace). With these pictures we can release that worry, at least for a day. To be able to show the children and their families the joy and acceptance from others, almost like outsiders of their life, is the greatest feeling of accomplishment. To know that the special needs children no longer feel alone and feel beautiful and accepted will overfill the hearts of many with joy and happiness. To feel beautiful about yourself if probably the best gift of self acceptance.
“Motherhood is about raising and celebrating the child you have, not the child you thought you would have. It’s about understanding that he is exactly the person he is supposed to be and that, if you’re lucky, he just might be the teacher who turns you into the person you are supposed to be”
