[Guest guest]

Hi everyone

Not sure if anyone who has a dog is interested in the following, regretably i cannot make it as im home educating and do not have cover in the day for that length of time. If it is not in your area you can email them as they have workshop[s all over, these ones were closest to me.

Hi

Thank you very much for your interest in the PAWS project.

The workshops are open to parents of children aged between 3-16 years, with a clinical diagnosis of autism. Families are welcome whether they have a pet dog or not. They are designed to provide parents with the information and long-term support for sourcing, choosing, handling and training a pet dog specifically to benefit a child with autism and the family as a whole. Following the workshops, the PAWS team will offer ongoing support to families, through a variety of media, from telephone support to an online forum and family support network.

Parents attend a series of three one-day workshops. Please note that pet dogs do not come along to the workshops as we have our own “pet dogs” which we use for demonstrations/practise. We currently have in place a series of Workshops in Surrey and Banbury which may be suitable for you. Please be aware that places are allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Location: Ruxbury Farm, St Anns Hill Road, Chertsey, Surrey, KT16 9NL

Workshop 1: Monday 24th October 2011 (10am start, 3.00pm finish approx.)

Workshop 2: Monday 28th November 2011 (10am start, 3.00pm finish approx.)

We also plan to be in Harefield again next year however we do not have dates confirmed but will hopefully be mid year and Surrey we are hoping to be late next year. There is no guarantee that these will be happening though.

I have attached an application form for you to complete and return if you are interested and an information sheet. You may also wish to look at our website http://paws.dogsforthedisabled.org for further information. You will be able to read more about the workshops and the project as a whole, as well as read case studies.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards

Kate
