[NAGDU] o and m programs in guide dog schools

[Passle Helminski]

Hello,

If you go to Pilot for O&M  you do not have to be a client of theirs and you do not have to get a dog guide from them.  You can be a new cane user or someone who needs to brush up on their cane skills. Steve Hoyt is their director of training since Ray retired. Their phone number (614) 221-6367
