Disability Support Your Way

Why do I advocate? Because of this!

When a child is being refused a trial at an early learning centre even the staff learn that the child has a fully trained and certified Autism Assistance Dog.

This is a huge breach of both the Queensland Guide Hearing Assistance Dogs Act and the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act.

The child's mother is the ADs handler, and has said that if the trial is allowed to occur, she will stay. If the trial goes well, on the days thst child attends the centre and needs the dog to attend in a working capacity, mum will attend to.

This is why advocates are needed!
