<p class="MsoNormal">FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Guide Dog Users Group launches Innovative Mobile App<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Tampa, Florida (September 17, 2014): The National<br>
Association of Guide dog Users Inc., a division of the National Federation<br>
of the Blind and the nation's leading service animal advocacy organization,<br>
announced today that it has release the NAGDU Guide & Service Dog Advocacy &<br>
Information app. This new IOS app provides comprehensive information about<br>
the rights and responsibilities of service animal users under state and<br>
federal law.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
"Every law in the United States concerning service animals can now be in<br>
your pocket," says Marion Gwizdala, NAGDU's president and a guide dog user<br>
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<br>
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) concerning service animals, along<br>
with the relevant laws of each state. It also offers specific guidance for<br>
those industries in which service animal users face the most challenges,<br>
such as restaurants, taxicabs, hotels, and health care facilities. In<br>
addition, those who face discrimination because of their service dog can use<br>
the app to call a special advocate trained to resolve such issues. The app<br>
is provided for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch users free of charge as a<br>
public service by the National Association of guide dog Users. You can find<br>
the app by going to<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<a href="https://appsto.re/us/F8jO2.i">https://appsto.re/us/F8jO2.i</a><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
or by simply searching for "NAGDU" in the Apple app store. <br>

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