We have adapted our practice to better accommodate patients with special needs or disabilities by allotting more time to help them. For example, on one occasion, we had a young man with autism who needed medical eye care. We had a packed schedule, so I decided to see him at the end of our work day, to allow enough time to see him and not rush the encounter. I was able to connect with him and give him the treatment he needed. He was so appreciative that he came back another day with his grandma to give me a painting he made for me. Needless to say, his mother was beyond happy that we took the time to really care about her son.
