III. 3. What additional resources are available to LD students at Barnard?

One terrific resource open to all students is the Erica Jong Writing Center located at 18 Milbank (4/8941). Sign-up times are posted on Mondays at 6pm. This program is staffed by student Writing Fellows, many of whom have attended a series of LD awareness workshops given by ODS. These workshops have focused on developing an understanding and empathy for students with LD, strategies which work best with all students (including LD students), role playing, and an overall approach to relating to and remediating writing difficulties of LD writers.

Subject-area tutoring is coordinated through the Office of the Dean of Studies (4/2024) with peer tutors available at a cost of $15.00/hour, with reduced rates for financial aid recipients. Students wishing specific math-related assistance are encouraged to contact the Math Help Room (4/3577) located in 333 Milbank.

III. ODS "101"

1. If I have an LD, what kind of support does ODS offer?
2. What is the role of the LD Coordinator?
3. What additional resources are available to LD students at Barnard?
4. I know that ODS has an Early Self-Identification Policy, but shouldn't I wait until after midterms to see if I need accommodations?
5. I'm a high school guidance counselor and would like information regarding recommendations and options for students with learning disabilities and some specific insight into Barnard policies.
6. Help! Half of the semester is finished and I'm feeling overwhelmed about what I have to accomplish before finals. What should I do?
7. I've just been accepted to Barnard, and I have a learning disability.  What's the procedure for receiving accommodations for my disability?
