What we do
The goal of our organization is to educate the public about assistance dogs, their importance to the quality of life of people with disabilities, and to increase inclusion.
We carry out our activities in three directions: public education initiatives, training of organizations and other interested parties, and scientific research that helps substantiate the importance of assistance dogs both in everyday life and in the professional environment.
In this section you will find prepared documents, guidelines and information materials that can be downloaded and used in practice.
