Autism and dogs

As you may know PatientTalk.Org has been interested in the use of animals as a therapy for people with Autism. You can check out a blog post I wrote on autism and service dogs here.

So were are delighted to be able to give some help to Jenna Lauder, a student at Warwickshire College, who is studying companion animals and the effect they have on autistic children. She needs the help with some research from parents of children with ASD.

Ms Lauder writes” My name is Jenna Lauder; I am currently a 3rd year student studying a BSc Hons in Animal Science and Health at Warwickshire College. This year I am undertaking a dissertation based on the subject of companion animals and the effect they have on autistic children. As part of my research, I am required to distribute a questionnaire.

I am looking for parents of children particularly between the ages of 4-11 who have a companion animal, but also would like those who do not have a companion animal to respond for an equal comparison.
It would be great if you have a few minutes to complete my anonymous online survey, which should take no more than 5 minutes.

Your time and contribution is much appreciated!

  1. Do the kids themselves get any say? Why go to the parents only? It might be harder to get answers from the kids because of language barriers but if the parents themselves don’t have autism you won’t be getting an accurate response. You need to go to the children as they’re the ones with autism and what your research is all about!
