Companions For Independence pioneered the concept of training dogs to assist people with physical disabilities other than blindness. These first service dogs, and the increased independence they brought to their human partners, came at a time in America's history when people with disabilities were charting new courses for their lives. Instead of being taken care of, they wanted opportunities to take charge of their lives. For hundreds of men, women, and children since then, Canine Companions For Independence has opened the door to just such opportunities. With service dogs as the cornerstone, the CCI CCI Chambre de Commerce et d'Industrie (France) CCI CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine) Citation Index CCI Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Western Australia) program expanded in the 1980's to hearing dogs trained to alert the deaf or hearing-impaired to the sounds they cannot hear, as well as social dogs for children with disabilities, individuals with developmental disabilities developmental disabilities (DD), n.pl the pathologic conditions that have their origin in the embryology and growth and development of an individual. DDs usually appear clinically before 18 years of age. or any situation where the supervision of a third party is required. While CCI's service, hearing, and social dogs may differ in the specific ways that they provide assistance, they have much in common. Canine Companions help their partners reach beyond whatever limitations their disabilities impose on them to be the best they can be. CONTACT: Canine Companions For Independence |
