In Part 2, we talk about experiences where doctors and dentists refuse to see patients because they are Autistic. Barbie is working to change this as the director of policies for NYU division of Oral Health, which is the largest dental school in the country. She says that schools are now required to teach future medical professionals how to work with the Special Needs community. She is creating a curriculum helps to increase access for oral care for the Special Needs community, and helps to train future dentists to be familiar with people with Special Needs. They have a 12 chair clinic where patients can come, and she also helps people to navigate insurance.
