We are studying hearing this week. We went with friends on a field trip to the Dogs for the Deaf facility. We got to see the dogs in action. They listen for sounds (door knocking, timer going off, smoke alarms etc.) and the alert their owners. We also saw the apartments where they train the dogs.
They even have cats inside the apartments for the dogs to get used to. We were so impressed with this organization.
That is a great field trip, I have not been since I took the activity day girls when Sarah was young. They they didn't have cats back then, I guess I need to go again. smile
