[nagdu] special Needs Program at Guiding Eyes

[Danielle Burton]

It makes sense because conversational frequencies are different from other sounds. And  I have an upadate from Guiding Eyes. I should be getting my class date sometime next week is what the instructor said. They are doing their final evaluations on the dogs now. So I  willknowledge for sure if
i'm going this summer next week. 
The National Federation of the Blind knows
that blindness is not the characteristic that
defines you or your future. Every day we
raise the expectations of blind people,
because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams.
You can have the life you want; blindness
is not what holds you back.
