Reader's Digest Partners for Sight Foundation Supports Guiding Eyes for the Blind Special Needs Program
The Special Needs Program at Guiding Eyes for the Blind (GEB) provides guide dogs to people with disabilities in addition to loss of vision, including certain development and physical challenges. Each student is carefully evaluated and then assigned a Guiding Eyes dog with a compatible termperament and energy level.
The Special Needs Program runs parallel to GEP's Residential Training Program. Guiding Eyes students all attend and intensive 26-day training course at the Yorktown Heights, NY campus. Special Needs students live in the dormitories with the other students, but their training is conducted on a one-on-one basis.
ALL SERVICES ARE OFFERED TO STUDENTS AT NO COST.
