The Guide Dog Journey from Infant to Adult

Description

Many skills are needed to prepare an individual for having a guide dog. The skills needed begin as early as infancy and progress through adulthood. In this session, Ethan will share his personal experiences of why he thought the guide dog lifestyle was for him and how he started preparing at a young age to get a guide dog. He will also describe what it is like to work with a guide dog in everyday life. Attendees will be able to ask questions and meet Ethan and his guide, Ginsburg.
