Kendra - 1st Guide Dog in Singapore!

Today, we were very fortunate to have Mr Kua Cheng Hock, 1st person in Singapore to own a guide dogto speak to us @ OT Learning Community.

Mr Kua Cheng Hock, who is born blind, gets around with his golden retriever - Kendra.

Kendra is 3 years old now. Kendra has travelled 3 times to U.S (much more fortunate than me...)

It is very inspiring to listen to Mr Kua and how much he did to help other people with visual impairments and how he helps to advocate for himself and others. And I believe there's alot that we can do as OTs to help clients with visual disability.

Hope to see more guide dogs in Singapore!
(hmm.... maybe can get Singaporeans to go overseas for trainer course.... then can come back and train the dogs.... then will have more guide dogs.... )
