AADI’s partnership with Royal Canin Foundation

AADI’s Animal Assisted Education Programme with Royal Canin Foundation

Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland (AADI) is proud to partner with the Royal Canin Foundation for the Animal Assisted Education Programme, a transformative initiative aimed at supporting neurodivergent students in schools across Ireland. In collaboration with University College Cork, this program places specially trained assistance dogs in primary and post-primary schools to foster inclusivity, reduce stress, and promote social engagement.

Our canine companions provide a unique, non-judgmental presence, creating an atmosphere of calm, improving student attendance, and encouraging positive interactions. This project reflects our shared vision of a more inclusive, supportive learning environment, where every child is empowered to reach their full potential.

Unleashing Potential

Together with the Royal Canin Foundation, we’re making a lasting impact—one school, one child, one dog at a time.
