Autism Assistance Dogs are trained to help improve the quality of life for autistic children aged between 3 and 8 years old, and their families.
They support children with:
• Social and motor skills
• Safety
• Companionship
• Emotional support
They have shown to improve sleep, allow for easier transition to new or different environments and reduce isolation by removing many challenges associated with social interactions and outings.
An Autism Assistance Dog has the same public access rights as a Guide Dog
