Autism Service Dog Feature: Rebecca's Story

submitted by SDWR on 04/19/17 1

"My daughter's autism affects her by severely limiting her language and communication skills. Rebecca's autism is fairly severe and has a profound impact on the entire family... Charlie is a labrador retriever and he has a wonderful, calm demeanor... When it's time to work he is on the job and enthusiastic and ready to work for Rebecca. In the first three weeks, we had Charlie, we noticed remarkable differences in her. She was sleeping better, she was having no meltdowns whatsoever and she had a wonderful burst in language. Charlie's presence in the home has been incredibly therapeutic for the entire family... He is quite the blessing."- Samantha, Rebecca's mother SDWR wants to shed a light on the families and faces behind an Autism diagnosis.
