Photos filled with glowing smiles in the actual places where we live and go to school reinforce your student’s positive memories of those sometimes challenging tasks in these spaces.

Memories build a routine. When we have strong visual memories, our executive functioning and self-regulation skills strengthen, allowing our days to proceed much more smoothly.

By looking at these empowering photos with your student regularly, you are helping your student to record memories and visualize themselves successfully engaged in school. Looking at the photos of their proud faces in their own classrooms gives your student the opportunity to rehearse their accomplishments and promote the outcome of expected activity engagement in school. 

Parents use it at home each evening before bed. They do it in the morning before school, too. Maybe even arrive to school drop off early and flip though the book in the car before entering school that day.

Teachers use it this 1:1, with respect for your student’s privacy. Do it in the morning, as well as before any transitions. Find the photos that show the next activity in your schedule and flip to that page to review.

Boston Sensory Solutions will provide each participant in this project with 3 occupational therapy sessions at a private pay rate of $150/session, with the option to bill health insurance for these sessions where appropriate. These sessions will include a 1:1 occupational therapy consultation to review your child's daily activities, identify tasks to photograph in the project, as well as a "reveal session" where your occupational therapist will model how to maximize your use of the Picturing Myself booklets.

Jess from Boston Baby Photos will provide each participant in this project with a photography session at your home or your child's school at a time that works for your family (sometimes before or after school works best) at a rate of $300. Boston Baby Photos will provide each participant three copies of the final Picturing Myself photo essay in booklet form at the child's reveal session.
