When Dr. Mel Houser started medical school, they never imagined that they would later find themselves reimagining healthcare for neurodivergent people. But their work has been remarkable - and offers all of us a template for challenging systems that create barriers to health, belonging, and participation.

This episode explores four key ideas: healthcare is more than medical care; solutions should come from those closest to the problem; universal design creates multiple paths to participation; and safety is the foundation for meaningful participation.

Dr. Mel Houser is a family physician, the founder and executive director of All Brains Belong Vermont, and the author of the upcoming book, A Failure of Imagination: How the healthcare system fails neurodivergent people - and what we're doing instead.
