Description
Success in orthodontic treatment for a child with an intellectual disability is the extent to which the treatment rendered fulfills the parent’s expectation. How close you come to delivering the experience and treatment outcome that the parent was promised the day of the initial examination will determine orthodontic success. The concept of under-promise and overdeliver is usually a good policy. Mindset is more important than technical ability.

Beginning with the world of fashion photography, the lecture highlights cultural perceptions of beauty in modern society while concurrently exploring cultural perceptions of people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences.
This global journey considers the importance of self-acceptance, self-esteem and self-advocacy as necessary tools to empower individuals and their families at risk of stigma, discrimination and exclusion. Images of several medical conditions will be presented as a stark contrast to existing imagery in medical education, while also emphasizing the importance of showcasing humanity and dignity through photography, film and narrative.
