 E-Mentors
In
the fall of 2006, ODS launched the E-Mentors Program in which incoming
students with disabilities are matched with current students with
disabilities for informal/online networking and support. Disability
categories for E-Mentors include: ADD/ADHD, chronic medical conditions,
hearing impairments, learning disabilities (LD), mobility impairments,
psychiatric disabilities and visual impairments.
Disability Self-ID Statements
All students with disabilities who are
registered with ODS are expected to self-identify to their professors
during the first two weeks of each semester. There are example
templates to
provide you with some ideas in developing your own statement.
The Furman Counseling Center and The Office of Disability Services
invite all students with chronic illnesses to join the "Living with
Chronic Illness Group". Sometimes one of the hardest things about living
with a chronic illness is the sense of isolation it can create. During
this group, students exchange stories, advice and strategies that reduce
the feelings of isolation. It provides a confidential and supportive
forum to talk about the logistics, decisions and emotions that accompany
having a chronic illness. For the purpose of this group, chronic illness
is defined as any illness (both psychiatric and medical) that presents
physical and/or emotional challenges on a daily basis.
The BAID (Barnard Alumnae
Involved with Disabilities) Network is a mentoring project jointly
coordinated by the Offices of Alumnae
Affairs, Career Development
and Disability Services to enable current Barnard students with disabilities to meet
and/or talk with disabled alumnae from a wide variety of fields. The BAID Network also
serves to expand our directory of information on disability services and the availability
of accommodations in graduate and professional schools.
