Everyone knows about guide dogs for blind people.
There are also guide dogs for deaf and deaf-blind people. Those dogs are trained to alert their masters when there are some important environmental noises.
Those who serve deaf-blind people are also trained to pick up things, which are dropped on the floor, and bring them back to their masters. This is useful since when, for example, a deaf-blind person loses his keys, he doesn’t hear the noise of their dropping on the floor and once he notices the loss, cannot easily look for them by sight.
People, who need to have such dogs trained in Israel, can contact the Ali Hope nonprofit, which specializes in such a training.

I am deaf since birth. I played with big computers which eat punched cards and spew out printouts since age 12. Ever since they became available, I work and play with desktop size computers which eat keyboard keypresses and spew out display pixels.
Among other things, I developed software which helped the deaf in Israel use the telephone network, by means of home computers equipped with modems. Several years later, I developed Hebrew localizations for some cellular phones, which helped the deaf in Israel utilize the cellular phone networks.
I am interested in entrepreneurship, Science Fiction and making the world more accessible to people with disabilities.
