Robin Sloan

When asked if there is something special about her, Robin replies, "Yeah - I'm a star." At times keenly aware of her status as a developmentally disabled woman, Robin lives a life that is unique and filled with unusual circumstances. She is simultaneously naive and clever, oblivious and focused, child and adult. She faces great hurdles and challenges on a daily basis, yet is unflappable. She loves to dance, watch movies, play racing games on her computer, dine out, visit with friends and family, work at her job at Banana Republic and help take care of babies. Robin is compassionate, friendly, gregarious, accepting and charming. She is a true inspiration.

Pati Stoliar

From the time she was born, Robin's mom has been a devoted and attentive parent, going to battle on Robin's behalf for housing, work and professional support. Pati and Robin speak at least 3 times a day; she is a constant source of help and encouragement. When Robin gets lost or scared or runs out of cash, like all children, her first instinct is to run to Mom.
