About the Author
Foreword by Sheila O'Brien. The executive director of the New England Assistance Dog Service (NEADS), Mrs. O'Brien holds a master's degree in special education, and she has had wide experience in working with people who are deaf and in the training of Hearing Dogs.
Books by Elizabeth Yates have won many awards, including the William Allen White Children's Book Award and the Newbery Medal. In 1987, the New Hampshire House of Representatives saluted her with a citation for lifelong achievement.
While writing Sound Friendships, Miss Yates observed the training and matching of dogs at the NEADS facility in Massachusetts and interviewed both new and experienced Hearing Dog owners. Her story of Willa is based on the experiences of two young women whom she met through the NEADS program.
