[nagdu] Guide dog seminars or camps

[Aleeha Dudley]

The only thing I know of that is even remotely close is the Accelerated Mobility program that Leader Dogs offers. And it is more for mobility training, in fact, that is the entire point of it. They do give you a chance to work a dog, but not for very long and it definitely is not the focus of the two week program

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
