Modeling agency for disabled children?

Question

We live in NYC and my daughter has an orthopic problem nothing to noticable but when you look you can see it.

Otherwise she is a gorgoeus child. She desperately wants to be a model. We brought to an interview last year and she pasted then they agency said we had them a monthly fee. A co-worker of mine who is a model said never use a company that needs you pay them prior to you work. Basically fine a company that takes a comission.

So does anyone know of a agency that will work with kids with disablities?

Answer 1

i really can't help cos i'm in the uk but here we have a company i think its run by warwick davis (willow, harry potter etc) that only deals with disabled and special needs (sorry if thats the wrong wording) so there is a good chance that you'll have one in new york because there is always a need for people in films and advertising.

Answer 2

I don't think there are any. These days, models are expected to be perfect. Anybody with flaws - no matter how minor will face rejection. Is a disabled child really able to deal with that ? The mental strain and endless disappointment might be too much for her.

Answer 3

Try looking around on the internet or asking your friend.  If she was a model she might know or have an agent that knows.
