Maybe youve considered obtaining a dog guide, but have been discouraged because you couldnt find a program designed for a blind multiply disabled person. Do not despair. Several dog guide schools have programs which train dogs specifically for users with multiple disabilities.
To find out if you would be a good candidate or if one of your consumers/students might benefit, join Seminars@Hadley as Ellin Purcell, Director of Special Needs, Guiding Eyes for the Blind; Michelle Pouliot, Director of Research and Development, Guide Dogs for the Blind; and Keith McGregor, Director of Canine Training and Deaf-Blind Services, Leader Dogs for the Blind discuss programs at their schools designed for multiply disabled users. |
