Open doors for people with autism
Organization information
Canisha vzw
Location: Wetteren, Belgium
Summary
In 2018 Canisha launched a training program for autism assistance dogs and since then demand for this type of assistance dogs has skyrocketed. Autism assistance dogs reduce stress and panick attacks in indivuals with autism, they bring structure and confidence into their lives, the confidence to go out into the world and they are a reliable buddy who does not need speech to connect. These dogs do not only open doors literally but also, and most importantly, figuratively.
