Eames Toni, Eames Ed. A Guide to Guide Dog Schools

Second edition. — Fresno: 1994. — 132 p.Fewer than 1.5% of the blind and visually impaired use guide dogs as their basic means of mobility. One reason for this low percentage is the lack of information about these canine assistants. The authors' goal is to fill this information gap. As the authors' originally envisioned this guide, it would be a resource for blind people considering partnership with guide dogs. They did not anticipate the interest shown by orientation and mobility instructors, rehabilitation counselors, disabled student officers, librarians and teachers of the blind and visually impaired. They hope the present edition will find an equally diversified readership. To provide greater coverage, they are including the Canadian training programs in this edition.
