In this episode of Just Another Autism Podcast, Eileen Lamb has a special conversation with Brandon Oakes, an autistic self-advocate and one
of our Champions of Change, and Dr. Kerri
Rodriguez, an advisory board member with Fetch Pet Insurance.
As today is International Pet Day, we learn more about service dogs and their role in supporting people with autism through Brandon’s own story with his service dog, Manci. Dr. Rodriguez also shares
research-based insights on how important and essential service dogs are in the life of an autistic individual.
It is important to learn more about their role, as well as the need to protect and support them so they can continue providing critical, everyday assistance to their owners.
