We bring awareness to the community
about the blind & low vision

Providing Kansans With Guide Dogs

Training guide dogs costs $45,000 to $60,000 and there is a waiting list of 1-2 years before a person can get a dog. Raising money to train more dogs is the heart of Guiding Paws ICT’s mission.

Business Hiring Solutions

Workers who are blind or have low vision make up a skilled candidate pool that is largely overlooked. We are dedicated to educating businesses on the benefits of hiring these dedicated employees.

Experiences

Into the Light is an immersive experience that allows participants to learn how to interact without sight and by using their other senses. A blind guide leads visitors in small groups through different settings in absolute darkness.

International Speaking

In a presentation tailored to your group, Andrew can speak about what hiring blind people can mean to them and to businesses, the experience of blind and visually impaired people in general, and his own personal experiences with his guide dogs.

Meet Our Founder
Andrew Crane

Born blind and with Cerebral Palsy, Andrew has lived and worked in Wichita his entire life. He credits his first guide dog, Orzo, with enabling him to become active and independent. His unique perspective has allowed him to become an ambassador for the blind and low vision community. In a short amount of time, Andrew has built relationships with and gained the respect of key individuals in city government, as well as national organizations such as Guiding Eyes for the Blind, Aira, the National Federation of the Blind, the ACB, and other groups.
