Our Foundation Puppy Programme gives families the opportunity to raise a puppy with guidance and support from our team, before the dog returns to us for advanced assistance dog training.

Our Residential Assistance Dog Programme provides individually trained assistance dogs, matched to an autistic person’s needs, with support to help the partnership develop.

Both programmes aim to support autistic people with everyday challenges. Exploring the programme information is a helpful first step towards understanding what’s involved and whether it could be suitable for your circumstances.

How to apply

Before applying, please read the programme details on our website, including eligibility, costs and the commitment involved. Once you’re ready, complete your application before the waiting lists close on 30 September.

Our team will review your application to explore whether a programme could be a suitable fit. Submitting an application does not guarantee a place.
