Patient s Name: Your patient has applied to our school for a guide dog. Guiding Eyes for the Blind s three week residential training program can be stressful at times. The program requires sustained physical, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning from 6am to 9pm, 6 days a week with rest periods and meal breaks. Students are expected to be independent with their health care needs and able to adapt to dormitory life. Students in training walk 30 to 45 minutes routes with their dog twice a day, in all but extreme weather conditions. Guide Dogs typically range in size from 50 to 75 pounds, walk at a minimum speed of 1 to 1 ½ miles per hour and exert a down and forward pull of at least 2 to 3 pounds. While walking, students may experience sudden, brief increases in speed or pull, or be twisted by unexpected tugs to the left or right. Does this individual suffer from any condition(s) limiting the following: standing, walking, carrying, lifting, stooping, squatting, bending or participating in group interactions? Please specify the condition and recommended restrictions, precautions or modifications: Based on my knowledge of this patient and the information provided to me, it is my opinion that this patient should should not be able to participate in the described course of instruction.
