Webinar: Is a Leader Dog the Right Mobility Tool for Me?

We have held the first in a series of webinars that will provide answers to some of the questions we receive most often about the services we provide. Webinars will be held quarterly (January, April, July, October).

Our first webinar tackled the topic: “Is a Leader Dog the Right Mobility Tool for Me?” Two professionals from our training team, Manager of Extended Services Erica Ihrke, certified orientation and mobility specialist, and Director of Programs David Locklin, guide dog mobility instructor, presented. They gave insight into the similarities/differences of using a cane vs. a guide dog, overviewed admission standards for both our Orientation & Mobility (O&M) Training and Guide Dog Training programs, and covered the application process for both programs, among other topics.

We had a great response to the webinar and are making it available for everyone to review on YouTube.

There were requests to include some of the content discussed in the webinar including International Guide Dog Federation standards, applications and information for O&M professionals about our Pro Seminars.

If you would like to be notified of future webinars, please email Rachelle Kniffen with your request.
