The Begining

One thing that has interested me for a long time has been the laws around service dogs. Since I first knew I wanted to be partnered with a dog with legal protections I started to learn all I could about them. Education of oneself and others (such as my family) is very important when starting off on such a life-changing endeavor. This draw to the service dog world helped to make me more conscious of disability rights outside of my own. Becoming more and more aware of the cross-disability community has shaped my vocation focus. The law is where I belong. Advocating is something that has seemingly come very naturally to and for me. It is time I use those skills to extend the reach of others. This blog is to show the methods I used to get from this point I just described, to working through all of the logistical, accommodations, applications and emotional processes that come with going to law school and being a person who is blind and has a learning disability.
