“Dating, relationships, and sexuality are fundamental to our health and happiness as human
beings. Evidenced in the multitude of television shows and movies, pop culture tells us that
it is a universal struggle of significant magnitude. But grappling with ‘finding the one’ and
feeling fulfilled sexually is more than just the plot of a hit television show, it is essential to
our emotional and physical well-being.” - Dr. Danielle Sheypuk

“Like those arriving at Ellis Island, I came to Manhattan hoping for a land of opportunity and finding a freedom from the constraints of attempting to date with a physical disability. Since my arrival in New York City more than 11 years ago, I have been fortunate enough to put myself out there on the dating scene. My experience and struggles with dating and relationships has taught me that this is a wide- spread problem, not one relegated to small-town life, and this problem has become my passion. My personal struggles are supported by the literature on the topic, and my advocacy focuses on key dimensions that are of critical importance.” - Dr. Danielle Sheypuk
