[nagdu] special Needs Program at Guiding Eyes

[Danielle Burton]

not really. The problem is most hearing aids are geared toward speech and conversation which I can hear quite well if it isn't super loud. They are typically set to reduce backqound which is a problem if you're a blind traveler because you want to hear traffic from all directions so you have to turn that off with the drawback of receiving a bunch of back ground you don't want but there's not much you can do about it. If I turn them up it's too loud and overwhelming. I can hear some streets safely and others likea. busy 4 way intercetion I can't cross because the noise just runs together.

>> Hi, my name ii Danielle. I am waiting on a match for a Special Needs Guide dog from Guiding Eyes for the Blind. I was wondering from there is anybody on the list who has received a special needs dog from GEB? If so how long did it take to get into class? Also, what were your experiences in the special needs program? I know that with the special needs program you are in the same dorms and eat meals with the rest but you have instruction one on one. Is there any other differences?
