Barbara Bonson & her guide dog Nara visited the Rotary Club of Hawkesbury and provides some insight into the aids available to the visually impaired.
The old adage of life begins at 40 was certainly true for Barbara. For the first time in her life, Barbara was able to be independent with the use of a white cane stick. After that she was introduced to a guide dog. Her husband likened the experience to giving someone a red sports car for their birthday...she was off and away!
The Guide Dog Association is a wonderful local charity, below is an insert from their website.
"You are welcome to contact us to talk about our range of services. We are here to advise and assist people to learn safe and manageable ways of getting about.
Your difficulty may be with stairs, getting to work, bright sunshine, or whatever. Each person's needs will be different. Each program will be tailored to the person's needs. Guide Dogs NSW/ACT services are quite broad. Most people do not need a Guide Dog. However, they do gain benefit from other types of training, for example, safe road crossings.
Whatever your age or situation we can help. While your vision is important in planning a program, just as important is what you are seeking to achieve or overcome.
Services are free to residents of New South Wales and the ACT and are provided on a domiciliary basis i.e. our instructors visit you at home, school, work or wherever required.
If you would like to hear more about our services please phone your regional office. We are happy to receive referrals from friends or family members, on behalf of the person, providing the referral is made with their consent. "
A big thank you to Barbara & Nara. |
