Hi there!
I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for animal clubs for adolescents with ASD or other needs? They can be anywhere in the UK. I'm doing research for my Masters and so far am struggling to find clubs which use animals in a weekly, group setting to help with things like anxiety, confidence, speech, and social skills.
Have you had any experience of something like this? Or know of a club in your area? I'd really be keen to find out about as many as I can so any info you have would be appreciated!
I volunteer with one in Croydon, London, and the impact it has on the teens who attend it is really special to see! The dogs really put everyone - and the volunteers! - at ease :)
PS If you'd like to be involved in my research feel free to dm me as will be looking for parents of ASD/SEN teens
