A
guide dog can offer a unique, safe and effective way of getting about independently and confidently.
The 'My Guide' scheme is a partnership between
Guide Dogs and community organisations, which helps people with sight loss get out of their homes and back into the community. My Guide aims to reduce the isolation that many people with sight loss experience, helping to rebuild their confidence and regain their independence.
An on-line resource written by five expert organisations to give parents the information, support and guidance they need at the time of their
child's sight loss diagnosis. While it is not a substitute for information and
advice from a medial professional, Starting Point is a gateway to invaluable information and support.
Guide Dogs CustomEyes service produces large print books for
children with
vision impairment. These are tailor-made for each child or
young person, but they are only
charged the recommended retail price. The customised large print books open up a whole world of imagination and learning, by enabling visually impaired children and young people to read the same books as their sighted friends and classmates.
Guide Dogs Cymru support to
children and their families as they tackle the challenges of sight loss from birth through transition to adulthood.
Guide Dogs believes the right assistive
technology – sometimes called ‘access’ or ‘adaptive’ technology – can help your
child learn and
play, just like everyone else. That’s why they've helped children and
young people access a world of technology designed to suit their
vision impairment.
