Description

The purpose of the Chapter of the American Academy of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry (AADMD) is to advocate for inclusive health and equitable inclusion of people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DDs) in the healthcare system. The chapter hosts events within the Stanford Medicine community to promote awareness and amplify the voices of people with I/DDs and will work to ensure everyone within the Stanford Medicine community is educated and empowered to not only provide high-quality care to people with I/DDs but also to serve as advocates/allies for the community. The chapter is also responsible for maintaining a partnership with Special Olympics Northern California through avenues such as Walking Club, volunteering at events, and including self-advocates to advise and join educational sessions for medical trainees.
