The Return of Jeff (A Legend is Back)

Jeff is diagnosed with a rare disability known as Nager Miller syndrome. We first met when I was visiting a school for disabled children in 2017. Jeff, who uses assistive technology to communicate, was a volunteer in one of the classrooms. As I entered this class he handed me a note that said, "Will you interview me?" Since then we have been close friends and filmed several interviews together. This is our latest video together.

One of the great things about assistive devices for communication is that people used to assume somebody like Jeff was developmentally disabled because they couldn’t communicate their thoughts. The device allows Jeff to express himself and show the world he is sharp as a tack. What an amazing and resilient man. Happy 40th, Jeff. Hope you have a wonderful celebration with friends and family.

I started watching them in medical school as well, and now I support their Patreon as a resident. They definitely help, and I love what SBSK does.

Honestly that should be a required part of the college to doctor pipeline

[@skrimiche]

They've definitely helped to change my perspective as well! I started working at an org for people with disabilities, and SBSK is one of the reasons why I felt more comfortable doing so. I hope more people get to see these videos and the variety of wonderful people featured in them.

[@FelinePoetry]

As a disabled person, I love that your taking the time to learn about people with disabilities! I’ve been dehumanized in medical settings before, so your comment gives me faith in the next generation of doctors.

[@cheapskatepanic]

Hi Jeff! I have several disabled kids. I love the kids that aren't shy to ask questions. Most of my kids can't respond but one is just blind. She likes the questions too. Most of the smaller kids that look afraid because of how her eyes look are just scared FOR her. Their first questions are always "does it hurt" . Once she answers no with a smile they relax instantly.

[@SgtCarter69]

You're a courageous parent

[@JF-kv1gm]

Often it's children who are candid and innocent enough to ask what so many are thinking but are afraid to say. It's important to ask questions...in a non-judgmental, respectful way, of course. Only then can barriers come down and things be more open, honest.

Jeff is awesome and glad to call him a friend of mine for many years.

[@janmorgan2300]

I want to be your friend. My husband (below the knee amputation, 4 years ago ) and I (multiple concussions, with permanent memory loss), are both disabled. We went to a concert last Friday and I asked if he wanted to dance a slow dance. He said no at first, then asked me to dance a few minutes later. He said he was not comfortable dancing because he could get off balance. I hadn’t even thought of that. I’m still in the learning stage. But he did wonderful and took his time. He only stepped on my foot twice, and I didn’t even care. He became over his disability of being afraid of losing his balance. We’ve been married almost 49 years. I am just amazed how you and my husband have accepted your disabilities and I’m so proud of you both!!
