"Universal design starts from a completely different premise. There’s no default patient. There’s no default human.

Mel returns her latest book, Failure of Imagination: How the Healthcare System Fails Neurodivergent People. To learn more about and purchase Mels book visit https://allbrainsbelong.org/book/
