LEARN ABOUT AUTISM DOG SERVICES

Adele Alfano will come to teach us more about Autism Dog Services. Autism Dog Services (ADS) was founded in 2007 by Wade Beattie, a pioneer in the autism service dog field. ADS is accredited by Assistance Dogs International and is also a member of the Canadian Association of Guide and Assistance Dog Schools. ADS makes a very positive impact on the lives of children and their families and is honoured to serve the community with its strong values.

Adele is Hamilton born and bred. As the Fund Development Manager, Adele works closely with the ADS team to raise funds, building upon community partnerships, coordinating events, managing donors and overseeing fundraising events.

Each ADS service dog enables a child, who may otherwise feel isolated, to build self-esteem and participate in school and community life.
