Autism Assistance Service Dog Program
Throughout the past ten years, there has been a growing need for Autism Assistance Service Dogs (ASD's). Our Autism Assistance Service Dogs provide children and adults living with Autism with an increased sense of safety, companionship, and independence. Our Autism Assistance Service Dogs are employed with tasks such as Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT), Interruption of Harmful Behaviours, Retrieval of Comfort Items, Tracking and Retrieving lost children to a safe adult, and more.
