We offer hands-on seminars to Orientation and Mobility Specialists and O&M students in training.

These seminars are designed to enable participants to:
  • Identify and advise clients who are considering a guide dog
  • Prepare clients who will be training with guide dogs
  • Work more effectively with clients who have guide dogs
  • Gain a thorough understanding of what guide dogs and guide dog training are about
During the seminar you’ll learn about:
  • Guide dog training techniques
  • Street crossings
  • Orientation
  • Patterning and conditioning for specific travel objectives
  • Common Dos and Don’ts of guide dog travel
  • How we make great matches between people and guide dogs

Each participant will get to work with a senior Guide Dog Instructor and will walk both sighted and under blindfold with the dog in harness.

 

The on-site seminar also includes time with instructors, specialized and admissions staff, and earns certified O&M specialists ACVREP-approved CE units.

 

Seminar groups have up to eight participants.

 

On-site seminars are held between April and November.

 

We can also bring our seminar to your agency or college if you have a minimum of five O&M professionals or students who wish to participate.
