David McCarthy, Head of Fundraising and Communications with Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland tells Adrianne that they welcome Government’s Commitments for autism supports, but they are calling for action over promises in providing AADI with the vital funds and supports that they need. AADI provide assistance dogs to children and their families throughout Ireland. They also provide school assistance dogs, and the training needed for teachers, which makes life easier for children with autism, their parents and their teachers. If you would like to help AADI then get onto your local Councillors and/or TDs to highlight AADI’s need and if you want any information on assistance dogs, go to www.aadi.ie or call (021) 2357107.
