Practical, relatable and informative

Merope Pavlides writes in an unassuming manner that is practical, relatable and informative. She shares her professional and personal experiences with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) individuals and the use animal-assisted interventions with an emphasis on dogs. This book is a fabulous handbook for beginners: it reads easily, without complicated jargon, and includes many resource recommendations as well.

Although I don't have direct personal experience with someone with an ASD, I volunteer as a pet therapy team with my dog and have seen first-hand the impact a cold, wet nose can have on the human spirit. I hope this book will help others to experience the joy and freedom assistance dogs can offer.
