And from parents...
"My daughter called me today after speaking with you about Barnard. She was deeply relieved to learn about your office… she took from her conversation with you a sense of being understood, not alone, as she learns how to integrate her health demands, school and life in New York. She was elated because she felt fully confident that you understand the issues she (and other students with invisible medical conditions) face."
"We wish to express our deepest appreciation for all that you have done and are doing for our daughter. As parents, we have watched her grow to deal with her dyslexia in a most mature and self-sufficient manner. We are keenly aware, however, of the price she pays in self-induced doubts and fears and the additional stress she endures in trying to fulfill the expectations of herself and others. Your technical assistance, interfacing with faculty, and 'just being there' will certainly be important factors in making hers a positive Barnard experience. It is a great comfort for us to know that she can and does rely on your help and guidance."
"We did not want the term to end without expressing our deep gratitude for your support. Our daughter is a very determined young woman, but without you and the many ways you helped her - from working with professors to deferring assignments to visiting her at the hospital and bolstering her morale - the experience of the past months would have been a real trauma. We are delighted with her progress all the way around and attribute a great deal to you and the caring attitude of Barnard."
