Dr. Kimura's approach
He asks the adult first, in whatever way works, and asks the caregiver what helps.
He keeps notes on what each person needs, so every visit starts from where the last one ended.
What he gives
IV sedation
He holds the permit for IV sedation, which the owner confirms, and works with a second team member who watches only you.
Visits for adults with disabilities
He plans a practice visit first, then a longer, slower visit, with the caregiver beside the adult if they want one.
Consent and who decides
He asks the adult whenever they can answer, and asks for paperwork where a guardian or surrogate decides.
