Giving Tuesday is a global movement that celebrates generosity, community, and shared responsibility. It began as one day, but today, it represents something bigger: A reminder that giving isn't just about money. And it isn't just about one day. It’s about choosing to support change every day, in many ways.

Your support helps us: Elevate disabled voices in medical education, Grow mentorship and advocacy opportunities, Create training on accessibility and inclusive care, Build a community that designs for every body and mind.

Giving Tuesday helps us fuel this work, not just for one day, but all year long.To support SMADIE’s mission, visit https://flowsto.com/r/UyUKRb2qV to donate or scan the QR code.

The left side shows "My Brain!" as a runny, messy scrambled eggs labeled "Undercooked and Running All Over the Place," while the right shows "Other Kids' Brains" as neat, fluffy scrambled eggs labeled "Light, Fluffy, and Organized!" A childhood photo of presenter "Dr. Greeter, age 4/5" appears in the top left. The four-person video grid shows Interpreter-Julie (she/her) signing, Stacy Greeter, MD (she/her) presenting, Alicia Cho, D.O. (she/her), and Laura Carravallah, MD (she/her/hers).

The slide titled "Lessons from Research with Blind Participants" features "Technological Solutions Enhancing Accessibility" section on "Haptic and Tactile Technologies." It details the Swell-Form Printer that creates tactile graphics on special paper using heat to raise black inked areas, forming touchable textures. An image shows example tactile documents. Partial text below reads: "To make blind people to use their touch sensory to access visualize." Two video participants appear on right: Soyoung Choi (she/her/hers) in white jacket with pearl necklace against autumn trees and brick buildings, and below her, Interpreter-Julie (she/her) with blonde hair signing.
