When creating a list of resources (to potentially share with families) I wanted to try to think of some agencies local to Oakville and the Halton Region, where I’m located.  The first ones that automatically come to mind are Autism Ontario, Erin Oak Kids, and the Geneva Centre for Autism, so I wanted to research and create a list of other service providers that can offer support to both families and educators.

I personally have had experience working with the therapy dog program, and think this is an awesome program to incorporate into your in-school setting.  I’ve seen first hand positive impact on students with varying special needs (increased confidence) and neuro-typical students (think your struggling readers – dogs don’t judge!).

Therapy Dog services are provided across Canada by St. John's Ambulance in a wide range of community settings such as: hospitals, seniors residences and care facilities, schools, universities and colleges, community centres and libraries.

By having an opportunity to interact with a therapy dog, individuals experience many health benefits that come with the unconditional love that dogs bring.
