My son, David Cicarelli, has a developmental disability and a past dentist didn't have enough patience with David.
When
David gets his teeth cleaned, he has a gag reflex, but Dr. Shim has a lot of patience, is very thoughtful and a skilled dentist. He encourages David to do a better job at toothbrushing, something that David has a hard time with. Juli Cicarelli, David's Mom.
Disability Awareness:
Welcoming, Talked directly to the person/people with disability, Friendly, Gave choices, Gave extra time, Respectful, Helpful with assistance or accommodation, Physically accessible
