Deanne Fitzmaurice, a Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer, shadowed 10 families living throughout California who Provide care for their children with special needs every day and every night.
These families have much in common as they navigate a complex and fragmented system of care, from the crushing piles of paperwork, to financial stress, to long drives for appointments booked months in advance. The most common denominator among these parents is a deep, beautiful sense of all-giving love for their children. Through photography and artifacts, The Super Parents highlights the families at the center of a complex web of services and providers who support the overall health and well being of children with special health care needs.
