ADI is a non-profit organization which is an association of other non-profit organizations which do training for hearing and mobility assist dogs. They are working on a test for street certification for the hearing and mobility assist dogs. The idea is to come up with a test that can be the standard for the US rather than having each state/county having different standards. They also have information on many training organizations in the US. They check out reports of problems with assist dog trainers (read rip off artists).
