Guest guest Posted March 24, 2001 Report Share Posted March 24, 2001 Hi Cheryl in B.C. Hope the weather out there is nice. We are having ANOTHER snow storm! It's in Waterloo, Ontario. National Service Dogs is an organization that trains dogs for sevice. They are the only group in Canada that trains dogs specifically to support children with autism. They are based in New Hamburg, Ontario which is a very small community right near us. Last fall our local D.S. support group had them come & speak at ameeting & they showed a video of a boy in Alberta for whom they had trained & provided a dog. It was amazing! Here is their website & e-mail: National Service Dogs: www.nsd.on.ca e-mail: info@... Good luck with it. Also, I was interested to hear that you have to listen for Angel possibly choking on mucous at night. Have you ever considered limiting her dairy intake? We changed from milk to soy beverage on 's cereal in the mornings (she still eats other dairy, but not too much) & it has made a huge difference in the amount of mucous she produces. In our case she was blowing her nose at everyone - to get out of doing things, when she was mad, to get attention,etc. When nothing was there to use as a " weapon " (mucous), she stopped the behaviour! Just a thought! Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
