GDB Graduate Provides Disability Awareness Education and Training in Florida

GDB graduate Tiffany Baylor works for the Florida Department of Education – Division of Blind Services with her guide dog Lando. She recently provided a guide dog disability awareness training at the Museum of Florida History and at the Department of the Secretary for the State of Florida. It was a wonderful opportunity to educate the museum staff and government officials about accessibility for guide dogs and other assistance dogs.

“With my guide dog Lando’s help, I have been able to educate my community about blindness, service provision modifications for community service providers, and mobility choices, such as the use of a guide dog,” said Tiffany.

Below are some photos from another recent in-service opportunity to a group of occupational therapists where Tiffany was able to educate them about blindness, by having them simulate different types of vision loss using sight simulators while reading.
