Please join us for an interactive virtual seminar, being held on Tuesday 
evening, October 19th, 2021, from 6:15 P.M. until 8:00 P.M. This seminar 
is totally free, and there will be door prizes up for grabs as well. 
This workshop will provide a variety of components, including lecture, 
demonstration, discussion, and individual interactive practice scenarios.
We will cover a wide range of topics related to issues surrounding guide 
and service dog access, including the legal, logistical, practical, 
theoretical, psychological, sociological, and ethical aspects behind 
access issues.
We will explore the toolbox of approaches, resources and options for 
avoiding, resolving, and preventing access issues, and discussing 
variations and the decision-making process. We will look at access 
issues through the lenses of the layers of diversity covered in last 
year’s seminar and will explore the multi-faceted nature of advocacy and 
access.

This seminar is hosted by the New York Association of Guide Dog Users; 
however, we welcome participants who are NFB/NAGDU and/or ACB/GDUI 
members, and also those who are not affiliated with either organization. 
Content will be relevant and potentially helpful to service dog handlers 
of all types of service dogs, including, of course, guide dogs, and the 
content could also be informative and useful to business owners, 
orientation and mobility instructors, professional and peer advocates, 
and anyone else involved in the guide/service dog community.

Please share this with anyone you think might enjoy or benefit from this 
event. The Zoom information follows. Please note that anyone dialing in, 
will not need to enter the password.
