Autism Assistance Dogs

Autism Assistance Dogs are specially trained service dogs that support individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These dogs help enhance safety, provide companionship, and improve social interactions for both children and adults with autism. They can assist in preventing wandering, offer calming presence during sensory overload, and facilitate communication between the individual and others. By promoting independence and reducing anxiety, Autism Assistance Dogs play a significant role in improving the quality of life for those with autism and their families. Their training focuses on specific tasks tailored to the needs of the individual they assist.
