Help Elijah Get His Autism Assistance Dog

Join us in supporting Elijah, our awesome little boy with Fragile X Syndrome and Autism, as he embarks on a journey to get an Autism Assistance Dog that will change his life.

Elijah, a young boy with a dual diagnosis of Fragile X Syndrome and Autism, faces numerous daily challenges. An Autism Assistance Dog can provide the support he needs to navigate these difficulties. These specially trained dogs offer more than companionship; they help with sensory regulation, provide emotional support, and assist with social interactions.

For children like Elijah, sensory overload can be overwhelming. An Autism Assistance Dog is trained to recognize signs of distress and can help calm Elijah through deep pressure therapy or by creating a comforting presence. This can significantly reduce anxiety and improve his ability to cope with sensory stimuli.
