Another reminder to support agencies about how profound the impact of disability is on the whole family and the community they belong to is. Demonstrates the value of having a pet dog in creating opportunities for skill development, communications, developing empathy and reducing anxiety in children with ASD. Reviewed by Jeremy Barnes

Friend also enjoyed watching with me - in this movie style this DVD gave a true feeling of how life can be with Autism in one's life. Gives an overall perspective in which to pick up on many real issues that do happen. Always better than list of facts, wish I'd seen it before becoming a support worker.
