Swimming Lesson

"This photo was taken of Scott and Jordan during a swimming lesson last summer. Jordan is an eight-year-old boy with Autism who had been longing to learn how to swim. Jordan's father left when Jordan was only a baby, so Jordan loves the attention of male figures who are positive role models in his life, but often finds it hard to trust others. This particular photo is amazing because it's the first time Jordan felt comfortable enough to trust a new person in the water, and was thus able to hold his attention long enough to learn some swimming basics."
