[access-uk] Re: Long cane training

Hi Andy

You should get long cane training from Guide Dogs, but I don't know for how much longer they will be offering the service as they are cutting back on rehab officers.

Hi George -

I'm in Devon, already a guide dog owner, finding that my new dog creates too much distraction when I'm working with clients, and feel I need another form of mobility for these occasions. I've been attempting to join the guide dog list to see if other old-timers like myself are finding that dog mismatching is taking place; so far, it seems to be taking time to have my request to join the list, accepted! So, I'm interested in learning about long cane mobility, but also interested in peoples experience with guide dogs now, compared to 25 plus years ago, and if other GDO's occasionally use long cane in certain circumstances.

Andy

Hi Andy,

Much depends on where you are in the country.

RNIB might be a reasonable place to start asking.

But your location might help others to help you.#

Hi all -

Not quite the right list I'm sure, but don't know where else
to ask, but can anybody give me any info on how to get long
cane training, who offers it, how long the training takes,
and the cost for it, if any?

Thanks -

Andy
