Seminars at Hadley Presents: Beyond the Working Years: Developing a Retirement Plan for Your Dog Guide

Date: Tuesday, June 3, 2014

Time: 2:00 PM CDT, 19:00 GMT

Retiring a dog guide presents the handler with several opportunities and challenges when considering the long-term care of the dog. This seminar will provide honest talk about the four options: keeping the retired guide in your home; giving him/her to a friend or relative; finding a loving home; or returning the dog to your school to find a retirement home. 

Join Seminars at Hadley as Michelle Drolet, former counseling specialist with 14 years of experience with The Seeing Eye, presents on the pros and cons of each placement option for dog and master and addresses your questions to help you make the best decision for you and your dog.

This 90-minute seminar will be co-moderated by two of Hadley’s staff who have personally experienced traveling with and retiring dog guides, Colleen Wunderlich, director of the Forsythe Center for Employment and Entrepreneurship and Doug Anzlovar, dean of Educational Programs. A question and answer session will be included as part of the seminar.

This seminar is an audio presentation. Space in this seminar is limited. Please only register if you know you are available to attend so that others are not closed out. Register for Beyond the Working Years: Developing a Retirement Plan for Your Dog Guide on June 3. <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=10207074&msgid=719685&act=GE9S&c=225701&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fhadley.edu%2FSeminarDetails.asp%3Fsid%3D230> 

Seminars at Hadley Presents: Braille Exchange: Enhancing Independence: Integrating Modern Technology and Braille

Date: Wednesday, June 11, 2014

Time: 10:00 AM CDT, 15:00 GMT

We often hear with all of the modern technology available that braille is no longer needed. Don’t believe it! Did you know you can enhance your independence by integrating modern technology and braille? Gain insight from those who use devices such as braille displays and notetakers. 

Join Seminars at Hadley and learn the secrets of modern technologies in synergy with braille in the 21st century. Hadley instructors Vileen Shah and Jennifer Ottowitz, along with five Hadley students, will discuss the benefits to integrating modern technology and braille for their personal use at home, at work and in the community.

Doug Anzlovar, dean of Educational Programs and Instruction, will moderate this 60-minute seminar. A question and answer session will be included as part of the seminar.
