This program provides service dogs for families with children with autism
Our service dogs are trained to assist with sensory processing by providing deep pressure therapy, which can calm the nervous system and reduce anxiety.
Our dogs can be trained to help with social skills and communication by providing a non-judgmental companion and helping to facilitate interactions with other people.
With the help of our clients, we customize a training program that improves daily function of the child and their families.
The program is designed to train teams of 3:
● The parent/guardian as a main handler
