Hi everyone,

I am the Communications Officer at Ataxia UK.

I am looking for people who have an assistance / therapy dog that supports you. If this is you, and you are happy to, please comment below or you can email communications@ataxia.org.uk.

Thanks!

Hi jellylikedavy,

I don't have much information on this at the moment, but I hope to gather some to share with the ataxia community.

Kind regards,

Leanna

Do you have an assistance / therapy dog?

No, but I wish I did

Is about the state of things

I wish we did but we have the next best thing which is an untrained dog. He is so patient with Beth and loving towards her and a great addition to our family. I know a young man who got a therapy dog ( not SCA) and the process took years!
