Have you heard about the story for a service dog for Autism?

           April is the month for acknowleding Autism as well as Occupational Therapy and because both are related to each other I decided to do a blog that covers both topics. I am very passionate about occupational therapy becasue it is the career that I have chosen for the future. I am also doing an internship at Trinity Mother Francis Hospital (Occupational Therapy Outpatient Clinic). However, most importantly I love working with children and this is why I wanted to share this story with you.
           The first video you may have seen is from the story of the young girl from East Texas. People responded to pleas on Facebook about a family in need of a service dog for their daughter. I remember seeing this on Facebook and I responded promptly after seeing the post, but I wanted to show a follow-up video about this story. So check it out!

Got myself a pup

          Hello there, the weekend is coming to a close and the school week will soon be upon us once more. The most interesting thing about this weekend was that I got myself a dog named pearl, and she's awesome. She's a family dog, we've had her for about 10 years or so, not too bad for a Yorkie. I had a choice between her and a puppy she had a year or two ago, but I think I chose well. She's a lot smarter and there's a lot less risk of apartment damage, which is what is most important to me. Anywho, school is going a little rough right now, there are things I have to buy for a couple of classes and I'm just waiting for sweet lady grant refund to come in so I can buy them.
          I really need to get the name of the foundations that gave me the extra grants. They definitely deserve a thank you card/speech/video/hug they really really saved my skin. The University just had a thank you ceremony where people go and thank the people that gave them their scholarships, but it didn't extend to grants unfortunately. I wish it had. I would have thanked them enough for 10 people!
