[nagdu] Jury finds IA Dept. for Blind's guide dog policydoesnot discriminate

[Nicole B. Torcolini]

Maybe what is needed is continued mobility training with a dog. I got Lexia 
between eleventh and twelfth grade. Although my mobility skills were 
certainly fine, I continued training in twelfth grade with Lexia. The 
important part of this, though, is finding a mobility trainer that knows how 
to work with the dog as well. Some of their methods, such as changing their 
position compared to you at certain times, can be confusing and/or slightly 
distracting to the dog.

I believe they are correct.  It would be ludicrice to go to train with a dog
guide and demand to use your cane the entire time.  If a program states they
offer white cane training, you are going to white cane training, not dog
guide training.  This of course, is just my opinion on the matter.  This has
been rehashed countless times, and as long as it all remains civil, it can
be rehashed again.
