Abstract
Parents of children with exceptionalities, including Autism, are less likely to participate in activities that promote social normalcy due to the behavioral risks associated with those disabilities. Lack of participation in social activities is a contributing factor of depression and can lead to negative feelings associated with parenting a child with special needs. Dissociation occurs when families are excluded from or have limited access to participation in social activities due to their child having atypical or problematic behaviors. Providing opportunities for inclusion provides a sense of normalcy, and belonging which can promote happiness and joy for families of children with special needs. Parents of children with behavioral needs do not have the same opportunities for having their children photographed professionally as those with typically developing children do. This research seeks to answer the following question: Does having a photographer with knowledge and experience in working with atypical children that display challenging behaviors provide parents with fulfillment in the opportunity to have their child professionally photographed?
