GUIDE DOG ASSOCIATION LAUNCHES INNOVATIVE HOTLINE

The National  Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU) - the leader in 
service animal policy  & advocacy – provides an innovative service concerning 
guide and other  service dogs. The NAGDU Information & Advocacy Hotline offers 
general  information about service animals under the Americans with 
Disabilities Act  (ADA), as well as specific guidance concerning restaurants, 
taxicabs, and health  care facilities. In addition, individuals facing 
discrimination have the ability  to speak with a special advocate trained to mediate 
access issues. Future plans  for the hotline include summaries of each of the 
state laws concerning service  animals, more industry specific information, 
and guidance in a variety of  languages, such as Mandarin and Arabic. The 
Hotline is available anytime by  calling, toll-free, 888-NAGDU411 
(888-624-3841). 

The NAGDU Information  & Advocacy Hotline was created by a grant from the 
National Federation of  the Blind's (NFB) Imagination Fund, as well as with 
contributions from the  California and Florida Associations of Guide Dog 
Users. The National Association  of Guide Dog Users is a strong and proud 
division of the NFB. NAGDU conducts  public awareness campaigns on issues of guide 
dog use, provides advocacy support  for guide dog handlers who face 
discrimination, supports sound policy and  effective legislation to protect the 
rights of service animal users, offers  educational programs to school and 
civic organizations, and functions as an  integral part of the National 
Federation of the Blind. For more information  about the National Association of 
Guide Dog Users and to support their work, you  can visit their website at:
