Did you know that autism service dogs have been scientifically proven to lower stress hormones in some kids with autism? This can result in a child being more calm, focused and regulated!
In addition, tethering can help a child with autism focus on the task at hand by offering them a reminder of where they are in relation to their environment. In other words, if the child focuses elsewhere & starts to wander, the tether system helps them refocus and stay on task.
