Tuesday June 24th 7-9 pm EST. SHARE VIRTUAL meeting. Add to your calendar now 😊*********************************************************************
Topic: GUEST SPEAKER- Owner Training a Seizure Alert Dog.
Curious about seizure alert service dogs? Or have one? This presentation/discussion by SHARE member Dr. Elyse Lee Osterweil, Ph.D. (who has been on previous SHARE trips) will provide an overview of owner training service dogs specifically for seizure alerts and responses before, during, and after seizures. She is training her dog currently. She will share her journey with finding and training her own seizure alert service dog (SD), the critical tasks her service dog in training (SDIT) can/will learn to perform, demo some of the tasks her SDIT can do, the value of training your own SD, etc. She's happy to answer any questions you have about the process, some of the legal protections for SDs under the ADA, and (if any has trained their own seizure alert dog) hear your own experiences and stories about training seizure alert dogs.
After that presentation/discussion we'll chat and hang out as normal :)
