[nagdu] Leader dog and NAC Accreditation

[Marianne Denning]

Debby, what other organizations accredit organizations that work with
blind people?  I know CARF began an accreditation for agencies serving
blind people almost 10 years ago but that is the only other one I am
aware of.  I looked at their requirements and think they are pretty
good but I am not sure the two Leader Dog programs fit in their
criteria.

I have worked in different agencies, including one that was NAC
accredited so I am always interested in getting additional
information.
