Helpful Resources
Hearts & Lens offers these resources for photographers to use as helpful resources to gain understanding of various disabilities and individual conditions. This page is offered for informational purposes only and does not advocate for or recommend any particular organization.
There are many resources on the web that provide information on various disorders. Hearts & Lens has selected only those entities that may provide information that helps a photographer glean additional information about a particular condition. HOWEVER, it is important to know that each child or adult may present in vastly different ways. REMEMBER that individual actions in a person are more important to recognize than to know their actual condition or disability.
