This kid rocks!
By kate blue - Tuesday, September 25, 2012
Let's just hope he's this cooperative this weekend when he is doing a "professional" photoshoot with photographer (and father of a child with SPD) Brian Mengini as part of his 31 in 31 Raising Awareness for Sensational Faces campaign... 1 in 20 kids are diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) and October is National Sensory Awareness Month! As a mom who desperately wants the best for both of her kids, this seemed like a great way for family & friends to gain some understanding as to my Thing 2's quirks & what he is going through...maybe it'll help them gain more patience, have some empathy for what we do on a daily (instead of thinking I go all around all day long doing absolutely nothing) and try to help him instead of just sweeping it under the rug.
To help celebrate National Sensory Awareness Month, Facesofspd.com will be posting a new face & story every day for the entire month of October. They are doing this in conjunction with a fundraiser they are launching to help fund the rest of this project and 2013 exhibit. Aside from the travel to finish the shooting for the project, they will be creating a large exhibit for 2013 which will include ALL 100 FACES that they photograph!!!
I am asking that you guys PLEASE sponsor my Thing 2 as the Maryland "Face"since Brian is traveling here this weekend, free of charge to photograph him as part of his 31 Faces! and for the web project....if you are interested, send me a PM and I'll give you all the information so that the $ goes directly to Brian and I do believe it is tax deductible (I'll check on that.) If we get more than $35, we will put that $ to sponsor another face...
