Assistance and Companion Dogs for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Fragile X

Investigators: Alexis Harun, Andrew Whitehouse, Angela Stojanoska, Gail Alvares, Kiah Evans

This study is evaluating the potential benefits of assistance dogs for children with autism and their families. It is important to gather evidence about the possible benefits of assistance and companion dogs as this may allow more dogs to be trained and made available to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and/or Fragile X.
