Newswire:

Participants:

Keith McGregor, Director of Canine Training and Special Needs at Leader Dogs
for the Blind will give an overview of Leader Dog's Deaf-Blind guide dog
program including a brief history of how and why the program was developed.
Keith has been a guide dog mobility instructor for over 27 years and has
trained more than 60 people who are Deaf-Blind to use a Leader Dog.
Keith will answer questions from listeners about Leader Dog's guide dog
program related to people who are Deaf-Blind, those with multiple
disabilities, or those who are strictly visually impaired.

Erica Ihrke COMS, Manager of Extended Services at Leader Dogs for the Blind
will give an overview of Leader Dog's Accelerated Mobility Program (AMP).
AMP is designed to teach a client basic orientation & mobility skills in an
extremely condensed time frame of one week. Erica will explain how this
program was inspired by clients applying to Leader Dog to receive a guide
dog but is offered to anyone who is blind that needs mobility services
whether they choose to use a cane or wish to train with a guide dog.

All of Leader Dogs for the Blind's services, including our guide dog and
accelerated mobility programs, are offered completely free of charge to our
clients. This program would be of interest to anyone who wishes to improve
their independent travel skills.

The mission of Leader Dogs for the Blind is to empower people who are blind
or visually impaired with lifelong skills for independent travel by offering
quality Leader Dogs, highly effective client instruction and leading edge
technology.
