Hi Karin! I have asked the head of our Customer Service team to make sure someone gives you a call so you can have an in-depth conversation about how your daughter could engage with Duke TIP. You should also feel free to call us at (919) 668-9100 M-F during regular business hours if that is easier for you. It’s not unusual for parents to call asking for a walk-through of how Duke TIP works and we are happy to do it.
