"If we dont create an atmosphere for people with special needs, then there's a lot of time not an opportunity fo them to meet other people," Talley said.
For Justin Gabor, this is a night to have fun and be 16.
"I come to this prom every year. It's really fun, it's really cool, im so exited to be here," said Justin.
