Dr. Gertrude A. Barber
Nominee: Dr. Gertrude A. Barber
Nominated by: Jackie Forness
Dr. Barber has enhanced the human
experience by showing the nation that just because someone is different they are
still human. The staff at the Barber National Institute still carry on her
traditions and beliefs today, by working with adults and children with mental
and physical handicaps.
They were shown how to combine these two very different worlds into one.
My children attended the daycare and pre-school programs at the Barber
Center, i feel that they are no stronger people because they do not look at
others with disabilities as different!
