Challenges for a blind person learning to trust a guide dog
Sunday, March 21, 2021 at 2 PM - 3 PM EDT

The Israel Guide Dog Centre’s own resident psychologist Dr Jed Schlesinger Ph.D. gives a fascinating insight into this aspect of the Centre’s work in the latest of our 30th Anniversary talks.

Dr Jed is a clinical psychologist who has, in his seven years at the Centre, developed our 'Psychological Intervention Programme' to assist clients in adjusting to their blindness, living with and caring for a guide dog and partnering with it to achieve independence and freedom.

He is part of the Centre’s multi-disciplinary team that assesses candidates’ suitability for partnering with a guide dog and accompanies them during their training, providing support both for clients and our own instructors.

Sign up today for this captivating insider’s view of the work we are doing at the Israel Guide Dog Centre to help blind and disabled Israelis enjoy a more independent lifestyle.
