[NAGDU] Guide dogs for the deafblind.

[The Pawpower Pack]

Hi Db Tarzan, 
I'm Deafblind, and my service dog, Soleil is both a hearing and guide dog.  She was trained by me so was able to give her the necessary training in the order I prefered.  
How are guide dogs for deafblind different than guide dogs for hearing blind? 
There are a couple of training programs here that work with deafblind, who either sign or use some kind of assistive listening support such as CI or HA.
