Independent little Alexander Tryon needs autism service dog
Alexander Tryon is a loving and kind four-and-a-half-year-old diagnosed with Autism at the age of three. He has a very large vocabulary, but does not always use it properly. He requires a lot of sensory input to keep his body under control.
Alexander has an independent spirit and a curious nature, which can put him in harms way. He will walk away with any person he meets, so doors must always be locked and his bedroom window has a security gate in it.
He is an only child, adopted at birth. His family has seen him interact with other dogs and knows that for him to get an Autism Service dog would benefit him greatly.
Alexander has been accepted to receive an autism service dog from 4 Paws for Ability, Inc. 4 Paws will train a dog specifically for Alexander’s needs. Here’s how it would work for him:
- In potentially dangerous situations, Alexander will be tethered to the autism service dog to prevent him from running away.
- The autism service dog will assist Alexander with sensory input.
- The autism service dog will interrupt undesired behavior.
- The autism service dog will be a comforting and calming companion.
- The dog will also be trained for search and rescue to track and find Alexander if he should wander off. Which is quite probable.
