PAWSable Life trains service dogs for those challenged by neurodiversity, PTSD and other psychological needs. We also train professional therapy dogs for schools, facilities, counselors, and therapists. Additionally, those challenged by EDS or POTS will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Our vision is for the neurodivergent to have access to specifically trained autism service and/or therapy dogs to assist with their peer interactions, improve social integration in their schools and communities, and to provide the opportunity for these young adults to learn and train for a career in the dog training community. We look forward to becoming THE community resource for all things service and therapy dog related, including a member's dog park with training staff available and a Train the Trainers program. We also aspire to provide programming and support groups for PTSD & Psychiatric needs, First Responders, Schools, and Veterans.
Our continued commitment to serving the autism community drives this organization to provide every opportunity to foster and encourage each participant and volunteer to help increase autism awareness and support for the community at large. Autistic youth are not afforded the same advantages that non-challenged youth in the community enjoy. Many will leave the educational system with little more than basic life skills. Our Train the Trainers Program will allow youth who have been diagnosed as falling within the autism spectrum to help train autism service dogs for other youth at a reduced cost. While helping train service and therapy dogs, youth in our Train the Trainers Program will attain a more comprehensive skill set and will be provided the opportunity to learn both job and social skills, thus increasing their long-term employability. Paws 4 Autism is 100% volunteer and grassroots driven. The organization has demonstrated sustained growth since our creation in 2010 and has remained consistent with its mission and purpose. We continue to provide a needed service to not only the autism families we serve, but also to the community at large through our social skills and school programs. |
