MARCH OPEN MEETING
Friday 19th April at 10.30am in the KEC
Speaker: Deborah Mahoney - Hearing Dogs for Deaf People
Deborah is going to talk to us about the important work of training dogs to help deaf people. Easy to say but it does not reflect the amount of work and care required before any deaf person can get their own hearing dog. We will hear about the training the dogs undergo, There are so many sounds that we respond to in our lives, some useful while others signal danger, and a hearing dog must alert their partner appropriately. How do they match a dog with a deaf partner? This is so important as they will be partners for life.
