Subject: [NAGDU] Interactive Virtual Seminar on Guide Dog Access and Advocacy

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.
