Graphic Medicine Resource Lab

Graphic Medicine Resource Lab Abstract This project will improve access to healthcare for people with developmental disabilities (DD) through the use of graphic medicine. People with DD will work collaboratively with creatives (visual and graphic artists) and healthcare clinicians to create materials that communicate both the patient and the provider side the healthcare experience. People with DD will develop the concept for each set of materials by drawing on their lived experiences and creatives and clinicians will bring the concepts to fruition by using their own areas of expertise. Members of the collaborative teams will be identified on an as-needed basis in order to foster a fluid and creative space for innovation.
