Join Us on May 17th for a Special Program on Service Dogs for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing!
We’re excited to welcome Diane Bernier, Executive Director of Fidos For Freedom, for a powerful program on how service dogs support people who are Deaf and hard of hearing!
Free and open to the public!
Diane’s service dog, Noah, will be right by her side to demonstrate the essential tasks hearing dogs perform and showcase the incredible bond between handler and service dog.
As someone who is hard of hearing herself, Diane will share both professional expertise and a personal perspective on how service dogs can truly transform lives.
CART and ASL interpreters provided. If you need other accommodations, please contact us.
