Seminars at Hadley Presents: Dog Guides for Multiply Disabled People

Date: Thursday, April 28

Time: 11:00 AM CDT, 16:00 GMT

Maybe you’ve considered obtaining a dog guide but have been discouraged because
you couldn’t find a program designed for a blind multiply disabled person. Do
not despair.  Several dog guide schools have programs which train dogs
specifically for users with multiple disabilities.

To find out if you’d be a good candidate or if one of your consumers/students
might benefit, join Seminars at Hadley as Ellin Purcell, Director of Special
Needs, Guiding Eyes for the Blind; Michelle Pouliot, Director of Research and
Devopment, Guide Dogs for the Blind; and Keith McGregor, Director of Canine
Training and Deaf-Blind Services, Leader Dogs for the Blind discuss programs at
their schools designed for multiply disabled users.

This 60 minute seminar will be moderated by Billy Brookshire, Hadley Texas
Outreach Coordinator. A question and answer session will be included as part of
the seminar.

As always, listening to the seminar remains free of charge. There is a US $25
fee associated with completing the seminar for credit (1 CE hour).
Professionals interested in receiving continuing education credit will be
required to successfully complete a quiz and brief survey before a certificate
is issued.

Space in this seminar is limited. Please only register if you know you are
available to attend so that others are not closed out. [1]To register for this
