We greatly appreciate all donations.
We greatly appreciate all donations.
We, as a school staff and Board of Management, feel our school would benefit from a School Therapy and Autism Dog.
A school therapy dog is a specially trained, calm, and affectionate dog that works within an educational setting to support the emotional, social, and academic well-being of students and staff. Unlike service dogs that assist one specific person, school therapy dogs provide comfort, companionship, and emotional regulation to the entire school community
We hope to work with My Canine Companion to introduce a dog to our school. https://www.mycaninecompanion.ie/
