Service dogs for children with autism can be a wonderful tool to help the child connect to the world around them. This blog portrays the journey that our family is taking to make this a reality. Autism service dogs are very expensive, if not cost prohibitive at $12,000-$30,000. Foundations that donate them to children often have 2 or 3 year wait lists. We have learned that it is possible, although a lot of work, to train your own autism service dog.
