Misunderstood Moments is an awareness program by Lens of Youth. It collects real-life stories of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, each paired with original artwork to help others understand, connect, and build compassion.

Stand for compassion.
Our Mission
Lens of Youth advocates for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities by sharing their stories through our lens — not only the camera, but also the lens of understanding and compassion.
Our Vision
We envision a world where individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities are fully understood, embraced, and celebrated; where compassion replaces judgement, empathy replaces ignorance, and connection replaces isolation.
