FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<br><br>

Guide Dog Users Group launches Innovative Mobile App<br><br>
<br><br>
Tampa, Florida (September 17, 2014): The National Association of Guide
dog Users Inc., a division of the National Federation of the Blind and
the nation’s leading service animal advocacy organization, announced
today that it has release the NAGDU Guide & Service Dog Advocacy
& Information app. This new IOS app provides comprehensive
information about the rights and responsibilities of service animal users
under state and federal law.<br><br>
<br><br>
“Every law in the United States concerning service animals can now be in
your pocket,” says Marion Gwizdala, NAGDU’s president and a guide dog
user himself. “There is no other single source for this type of
information.”<br><br>
<br><br>
The NAGDU app provides the entire text of the implementing regulations of
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) concerning service animals,
along with the relevant laws of each state. It also offers specific
guidance for those industries in which service animal users face the most
challenges, such as restaurants, taxicabs, hotels, and health care
facilities. In addition, those who face discrimination because of their
service dog can use the app to call a special advocate trained to resolve
such issues. The app is provided for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch
users free of charge as a public service by the National
Association of guide dog Users. You can find the app by going to<br><br>

<b>About the NFB<br>
The National Federation of the
Blind is the oldest and largest organization of the blind in the United
States. The NFB believes that the real problem of blindness is not the
loss of eyesight, but low expectations of the blind that create obstacles
to achieving their highest potential. The Federation provides
scholarships to blind students; support for those who are blind or losing
their eyesight; advocacy for the blind facing discrimination; and
educational programs for the general public on topics of blindness. The
NFB is not an organization that speaks on behalf of the blind; they are
the blind speaking for themselves. For more information about the
National Federation of the Blind, you can visit their website at<br><br>
