Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day. At the GDF, accessibility is about more than design. It is about freedom, confidence, and the ability to move through life with dignity. For someone who is blind or has low vision, a guide dog can open up the world.

"Can I pet that dog?". "No, they're working, but thank you for asking!". Guide dog handlers have the right to say no. Always respect their space.
