Autism Labradors UK Charity - Criteria
We have a clear set of criteria in place to ensure our assistance dogs are matched to those who will benefit most from their assistance. This allows us to prioritise individuals with a formal diagnosis, ensuring their needs are accurately assessed and met. By setting an upper age limit for children at the time of application, we can focus on providing long-term support during crucial developmental years. These guidelines also help us allocate resources effectively, ensuring each dog is trained to meet the specific needs of their future handler. Ultimately, this ensures the best outcomes for both the dogs and recipients.
