Guest guest Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Hi everyone, I just wanted to ask that you pray for me tomorrow. I am doing a presentation on life with Adult Still's and Service Dogs to 4th Graders at a local elementary school. I begin with talking about disabilities in general then I go into What is Adult Still's Disease. I have modified the Spoon Theory into a group activity to demonstrate a little bit of why living with Still's is so difficult. I then talk about the different types of service dogs. Which leads into a demonstration of the different things Coco (my service dog) helps me do. Then I talk about what the Children should do if they see a service dog in public. I have a handout that I give them and I ask them to take it home and share with their family. (you wouldn't believ how many adults come up and start petting a Coco WITHOUT permission). Then I take questions. At the very end if there is time I allow them to greet Coco. This is my 2nd presentation. I am hoping that this will lead into more presentations, and more publicity about Still's Disease and Service Dogs. I am asking for prayer mostly because after several months without a fever I woke up this morning with a fever, and was very achy. Thanks Everybody!

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 , Awesome you are doing presentations! That is just wonderful. I hope you are feeling up to it today. Knowing that you have a service dog, would it be possible for you to share some links on assitance dogs for the disabled? Programs available, but also maybe some places we can look to train our dogs on doing a few assistanting items with us. I personally would not qualify for an A-dog from an organization, but my dog is incredibly smart and for my needs, he's totally trainable. I would love to know training organizations who either have materials so i can home train or can direct me to trainers in my area that might be able to help. My dog would just LOVE training more and helping me out, he's a working dog that just loves to please. Again, thank you for volunteering and educating our children. I think that's a wonderful thing to do. When we teach them young, they are not as prejudiced as they get older. My little cousins have been exposed to nursing homes and older, disabled people all their lives and it's just no big deal to them to hang out with my friend who is in a wheelchair and for them to help me when I am not well. They accept that some people are not as quick or abled as them and it's not a prejudice for them at all. Houston, Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
