Some things a service dog could help Zachary with!

Service dogs provide a physical and emotional anchor for children with autism.


The dogs purpose is to provide safety and therapeutic companionship to children with autism, a neurological disorder marked by delays in speech and social interaction.


From a therapeutic standpoint, the dog serves as a point of focus for autistic children, enabling them to maintain calm.


From a safety perspective, the dogs wear a service vest to which the child is tethered while in public places.


The result is freedom for both parent and child.


Routine outings to stores or to the sports events … are made more manageable and more enjoyable…
