LOVING Dr. Stacy Greeter's rich, engaging, and playful slides. They're extremely effective for communicating her message.
She advocates for doctors "bringing [their] whole autistic selves" to medicine.

Screenshot from Stanford's "6th Annual Conference on Disability in Medicine" (April 26, 2025). The slide titled "Lessons from Research with Blind Participants" features "Technological Solutions Enhancing Accessibility" section on "Haptic and Tactile Technologies." It details the Swell-Form Printer that creates tactile graphics on special paper using heat to raise black inked areas, forming touchable textures. An image shows example tactile documents. Partial text below reads: "To make blind people to use their touch sensory to access visualize." Two video participants appear on right: Soyoung Choi (she/her/hers) in white jacket with pearl necklace against autumn trees and brick buildings, and below her, Interpreter-Julie (she/her) with blonde hair signing. Red banner states: "SHARED VISION: A NURSING RESEARCHER'S EXPLORATION OF HEALTHCARE ACCESSIBILITY WITH A BLIND PARTNER."
Dr. Soyoung Choi, PhD, RN, presented "Shared Vision: A Nursing Researcher’s Exploration of Healthcare Accessibility with a Blind Partner" at #SMADIE25 in our 4th session.
Her research builds on dual-ethnographic research in her own family to consider disability accessibility in medicine.

Screenshot from Stanford Medicine's "6th Annual Conference on Disability in Medicine" (April 26, 2025). The presentation slide asks "What's next for our Disability Research Lab?" with two burgundy bullet points: "We continue to apply for funding" and "We continue recruiting and mentoring." The slide features a humorous cartoon illustration of a distressed Possum sitting in a green dumpster engulfed in flames with the caption "THE HORRORS PERSIST BUT SO DO I" - representing resilience amid challenges. On the right side is a video feed showing Interpreter-Autumn, a woman with wavy light brown hair actively signing with both hands raised. The bottom features a decorative blue and burgundy wave design with a small circular profile photo in the bottom left. A prominent red banner spans the bottom stating "PROMOTING DISABILITY INCLUSION IN HEALTHCARE: EMPLOYMENT DISPARITIES, MENTORSHIP, AND ALLYSHIP FOR WORKERS WITH DISABILITIES." The Stanford Medicine logo appears in the bottom
"As this little adorable possum in a trash can on fire says, the horrors persist, but so do, and so will I our disability research lab as long as I can keep it going. So we would love to have you join us.
