After Care
with a Support Dog
2022

For a child with autism, adapting to life with a support dog and their possible other specific health conditions brings its own initial hurdles as well as being a new element for the family to adjust to.

Our grant provided essential aftercare for one child and their family for 1 year. This includes access to expert advice, support for the child whenever he needs it, access to the training centre. The child’s needs may change or increase over time and the training team monitors the partnership very closely. The partnership will be followed up individually at least every six months with an autism service dog trainer. The grant also covers travel costs to the centre for their regular assessment sessions and direct care, as well as any necessary equipment.
