When bus driver Hue Sze Wei found out that service 173 that he operates will have a #bus featuring #artwork by #students with #IntellectualDisabilities, the 41-year-old was happy to hop on board with the initiative.

He is no stranger to the invasive stares & rude remarks that members of public sometimes have for those with intellectual #disabilities, as he has a son who attended a kindergarten for autistic children.

People with #disabilities have long struggled to access quality #healthcare and research shows that many physicians are ill-equipped to care for this population in the same way as others. https://www.disabilityscoop.com/2023/12/15/adults-with-idd-face-significant-hurdles-at-the-doctor-study-finds/30674/

As a result of the hardships faced, the National Institutes of Health agreed in September to designate people with disabilities as a health disparity population.
