Craft successful assistance dog applications
It’s the referral that makes us all tremble, an application is needed for an assistance dog. We know there are guidelines and templates, but how do we best articulate the information required for a successful application? This two hour interactive session will provide an overview of the NDIS guidelines for assistance animals, steps/process for an assistance dog application including assessment, supporting evidence and AT template, and avoiding the common pitfalls in preparing these applications.

I have had so many clients ask about assistance dogs and never known where to start. This workshop helped immensely - I feel confident to give clients a clearer understanding of what an assistance dog is (as opposed to a therapy dog) to help them decide if they want to pursue this process further. I feel confident to have a go at this process if I have a client who wants to pursue it.
A huge thank you! So many questions answered for referrals coming in. All new concepts for some of us and a lot to absorb, including the possibilities of what a dog could offer let alone the processes. Super helpful and I feel like I have a lot more direction of what to include in FCA let alone starting AT reports for this. Thank you again.
