As we all know, schools have cut or limited their art programs

I wanted to bring to your attention a nonprofit group that has recently entered a few schools (including mine- Washington Irving HS) to introduce students with disabilities the art of photography. The students' reactions, and abilities, are wonderful- opening a whole new vista.

The organization is RTP- Rehabilitation Through Photography. It was started during WWII, to help veterans deal with the post war emotional and physical injuries. Over time it has evolved to reach out to those in our communities who has special needs.
