From the Boston Globe:

An exhibit of photographs by students with special needs demonstrates “striking range.” The collection of 16 images by students in the LABBB Collaborative Program is on view at the Lexington High School Gallery in Lexington, Mass.

… each reveals a unique point of view from a group of young people who may look at the world a bit differently.

… Photo instructors Theresa LeBlanc, a vocational counselor and transition specialist, and Betsy Kidder, an occupational therapist, helped the students learn to use the cameras and encouraged them to use their imagination in snapping pictures.

Teachers say photography provides a good educational tool, spurring students to express their creativity and providing opportunities for making connections with others.

The students’ website is here.
