[NAGDU] Pros and Cons of Preferential Treatment

[David]

The three schools that I applied to required mobility training and 
although I had traveled with a cane for 15 years at that point, I took 
Leader Dogs mobility training before I applied to guide dog schools.  
One of the benefits at Leader for me was the blindfold training.  I 
think that was one of the most meaningful training experiences I ever 
had up to that point.  That's why I requested that blindfold training be 
included in my GDF program.
