Primary research - Interviews.

Interviews we may do:

1. Margret Ross who is partially blind and deaf. We will be interviewing her about what it is like being blind and how she manages.Margret will be interviewed in her house, sitting in 'her chair' in her living room. This is because this is where Margret is most comfortable.
2. Lennie and Lyn who train guide dogs. We will be asking them questions such as what they do to train the dogs, how long they have them, how difficult/ rewarding it is. We will also be interviewing Lennie and Lyn in their house - as this is where the training takes place.
