I'm curious, what does the Hadley class about guide dogs teach? 
I remember it being mocked on this list when it was first announced, and
since a number of you seem to be taking it, what have you learned that
isn't common sense, or something you'd learn by experience?

Hello all,

I just joined the list and I'm hoping to pick up some good information
on guide dogs.  I have been contemplating for some time the idea of
getting a dog and today I am putting in the mail applications to two
providers - Fidelco and Guide Dogs for the Blind.

For the past few months I've been doing my homework on the subject..
I've done the Hadley School's course, which has a lot of good
information.  I've downloaded and read several books from Bookshare and
I've read through the web sites of several providers.  I chose to apply
to Fidelco because they are close by and come to your home for training.
I'm also applying to GDB for several reasons:  They have a facility in
Oregon, where I used to live and still have friends and family.  Also I
once met one of their directors and he gave me a good feeling about the
quality of their program.

I would be interested in other resources that anyone on the lists knows
of.
In particular, sources of books or articles that are available in
electronic form.  I checked out the nagdu web site, but there seem to be
many broken links.  The newsletter does not seem to be available at all.

 I'll be interested to monitor this list and observe the issues and
comments of all of you.

Best regards,

Ted Shelly
