Hi,
Ds1 is 9 and has asd, anxiety, sensory difficulties. etc etc etc. he gets anger outbursts for very small reasons. Iv read a lot about animals ESP dogs helping autistic children. I don't have any pets but have family members that do. He likes to stroke animals, seems to soothe him? Iv tried to research but can't find anything anywhere near me in the south east. I just wondered if service dogs have benefited anyone's dc or if it was a specific breed that is good for your dc?
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
SN children
Service dog for child with asd or specific dog for asd child?
