ENCORE POST: Our friends at Bancroft shining a light on why Special Smiles does the many things we do: It's all because we are dedicated to creating inclusive and accessible healthcare for people who have autism and other disabilities.

A BIG thank you to Special Smiles, Ltd for visiting our school and the Bancroft team that coordinated it! ❤️ Their amazing team provided essential dental care for our students in a way that felt comfortable and safe.

Here's why we loved having them:

- Quick and easy exams: 3-5 minute checkups right in the school chair! 🪑
- Stress-free environment: Disposable mirrors helped ease anxieties and allowed students to see their smiles.
- Specialized OR: They have their own operating room designed specifically for autistic individuals which eliminates the stress of hospital visits. ✅

Thank you, Special Smiles, for your dedication to creating inclusive and accessible healthcare!
