[NAGDU] Seizure disorder and guide dog schools

[Marianne Denning]

I know someone who thought she would be accepted into a school because she
has had a dog before and her O&M skills are very good, according to the
person who observed her. This person went back and read through her records
and noticed a seizure disorder and says it may take longer to be accepted
and she may not be accepted at all. I don't know anything about the nature
of the seizure disorder. Is it common for schools to turn down people who
have seizure disorders? I would assume hers are not under control.
