Support Dogs is a UK charity dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with epilepsy and people with disabilities, including autism, by training dogs to act as efficient and safe assistants. The dogs are trained to assist and support their owners with their specific disability. Each dog is taught tasks tailored to his owner's needs, enabling the disabled person to lead a fuller and more independent life. The charity's first autism assistance dog was placed with its family in 2007. Applications are accepted directly; referral not required.
