School Says Autistic Boy Can't Bring Dog to Class (Please write letters)

[Guest guest]

Hi, I would like to share this story with the group, I know in the past we have

talked about autism service dogs. My puppy raiser sent me this story and it

reminds me of the many struggles we have as parents with the school districts.

Even though I do not live in Oregon, I plan on writing a letter to the Hillsboro

School District in support of this child and having his service dog in the

classroom. I have provided the contact information in case anyone else would

like to write to the Hillsboro School District in support of this child and his

service dog. Power in numbers is how I feel when it comes to supporting children

with autism.

Thanks,

Dawn
