Gain insight into blindness and service dogs during this fireside chat, interview-style session between the blind dietitian speaker and the moderator. Learn how service dogs helped/help the blind dietitian navigate her environment to complete her college degrees, as well as alternative techniques and reasonable accommodations used to read and chart in medical records and provide medical nutrition therapy (MNT) to patients in a clinical setting. This session will help prepare you to better interact with and provide MNT to the growing numbers of blind people – whether students, interns, colleagues, or patients – as well as people with non-vision disabilities who use service dogs.
