Dear visitor:
Thank you for your interest in Thematic PhotoBooks! This learning method was created by a group of people with backgrounds in developmental disabilities, autism, mental health, and special education. Our goal was to develop a creative, imaginative, person-centered approach that can be used with children and adults alike.
Time and time again, we've seen people with special needs learn a great deal when taught through the Thematic PhotoBooks process. We hope you try it too! As well, we are always glad to help you to adjust this method to your particular audience.
This method was developed by individuals who volunteered their free time to develop and finetune this approach. Your donation will help us to introduce this method to a wider audience, and to continue to develop it further.
Feel free to leave feedback about this website and your experience in using the Thematic PhotoBooks method.
Thanks for dropping by!

This was done as a way to ensure confidentiality and privacy of the children with whom we originally worked. As well, these kids had fun and felt good taking part, knowing that they were helping others. Along the way, some of them learned how to take pictures and developed some life skills.
