Today, The Arc of Massachusetts is sharing our second Operation House Call Student of the Month. Each month, we will be profiling one student who has taken part in OHC and shared the impact that the program has had on them.
Name: Hasan Khan
School: Tufts University School of Medicine, Class of 2026
“I heard once that there are as many versions of autism as there are people with autism. Hearing from [our home visit host family] as well as the whole OHC experience have taught me that that fact cannot, should not be disempowering—it calls on us as providers to learn, chart, and literally talk with all our autistic patients and their caretakers about their unique needs and communication styles, no matter how ‘verbal’ or ‘intelligible’ they may be to non-autistic people.“
Hasan’s reflections on his experience with Operation House Call were just shared in the Helen: The Journal of Human Exceptionality article “How One Experience Changed the Way I Approach Medicine.”
