Master's social work thesis on autism assistance dogs as a parent support resource

Isabelle Reid MacNider @ 11:40 am on 22 Nov 2014

Hi everyone,

I am doing my master's social work thesis on how autism service dogs can be a source of empowerment and social support for parents. Naturally, most of the research,with the exception of Burrows 2008, is geared towards the effects for children on the autism spectrum. If any of you have come across articles or other sources documenting parent benefits, please let me know.

Best regards,

Isabelle MacNider
