I know first hand the positive impact dogs can have on peoples lives. Dogs for Autism are a great charity training their dogs to fit the specific needs of every autistic client and their family. 

This is done through methods such as - 

• Tethering via a ’tummy lead’ harness or second dog lead to encourage calm and settled walking behaviour outside of the home.
• Deep pressure work to help regulate the proprioceptive system and reduce anxiety.
• communication games to encourage social engagement, speech and language and social confidence.
• Settling behaviours to promote relaxation and self-regulation.

Alongside the things you can’t measure such as intuitive comfort,  unconditional friendship, fun, laughter and love.

It costs in excess of £20,000 to train and support each dog, and the charity relies entirely on donations. I would be really grateful for any help you may feel able to provide to help support this great cause! 

Thank you.
