[SCAGDU] The Seeing Eye® Advocacy App is live!

[Steve Cook]

Received this from a friend. 

 

Dear Graduate of The Seeing Eye:

I am very excited to announce that The Seeing Eye® Advocacy App is live!

Many of you have heard that we were developing an advocacy app. For those of you who don’t know about this journey, we have been working for nearly two years with a developer to create a free app that provides information about U.S. and Canadian laws that give guide dog handlers access to various settings and protect them from interference from people and other dogs. The app also contains some educational materials The Seeing Eye has developed on these topics including the Guide Dog At Work Campaign and our taxi and rideshare flier.

If you want to download the app and check it out, go to this link: https://apps.apple.com/app/the-seeing-eye-advocacy/id6446094763

For those of you who are Android users, we ask for your patience. The Apple app was our first step and we will begin work with our developers on the Android version as soon as we can and will let you know when it’s out.

We hope this will be a useful resource for those of us who are guide dog handlers; guide dog instructors who want to know the laws when they are traveling with dogs and working in the field with students and graduates; business owners; dog owners who want to know how to manage their pet dogs around guide dogs; and anyone else who might need or want the information.

We could not have done this without the hard work and determination of staff and the developer we contracted with to design the app. The support and encouragement from our Seeing Eye graduate community has been invaluable during this process. This is our first version, so we appreciate your feedback and your patience. We will need to make periodic updates to fix bugs and to update information about the laws as they change. This is just the beginning.

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
