Noah diagnosed at young age with Autism and other disabilities has already face many obstacles. His daily life involves numerous therapies and appointments, making everyday activities a challenge. Despite these difficulties, the family remained hopeful and continued to seek out the best possible support and care for Noah.
The family through their extensive research, discovered the benefits of Autism Assistance Dogs. Guide Dogs Tasmania provided hope, and after a thorough matching process, Noah was paired with Quasi, a specially trained Autism Assistance Dog.
Quasi’s presence has had a significant impact on Noah’s life. He helps Noah with daily tasks, reduces his anxiety, and provide emotional support. Quasi’s training allows him to assist Noah in various activities, from therapy sessions to family outings.
Ashley, Noah’s mum, expresses her gratitude… “Quasi instantly made our family unit happy and excited for the future. Simple things like leaving the house are now easier. The whole family loves getting out and exploring beautiful Tasmania, and now life has opened up to us…. We are incredibly grateful to Guide Dogs Tasmania and everyone who made this possible.”
The benefits of having Quasi are evident. Noah is more settled, happier, and his social interactions have improved. The family can now participate in activities they previously found challenging, knowing Quasi is there to support Noah.
The story of Noah and Quasi highlights the essential role Autism Assistance Dogs play in improving the quality of life for children with Autism and their families. And with the support from Guide Dogs Tasmania, they have made this possible.
