| Services Offered: | The special chemistry shown between a child and dog through Dogs for the Disabled’s work providing assistance dogs for families with a child with autism, has led us to realise that whilst for some children there will be a clear need for a fully trained assistance dog, a well trained family pet dog can also have a massively beneficial impact.
If you are considering getting a pet dog, then the workshops cover the pros and cons of getting a dog to help your child and your family. The workshops are designed to provide parents with the information and long-term support for sourcing, choosing, handling and training a pet dog specifically to benefit a child with autism and the family as a whole.
Following the workshops, the PAWS team will offer ongoing support to families, through a variety of media, from telephone support to an online forum and family support network. |
