This session aims to spark a discussion around the development and sustainability of a program where service dogs are used to support the social and emotional well-being of learners with emotional behavior disorders through school and university partnerships. Participants engaged in this session will (a) understand the impact that service dogs have had on other populations of students, such as those with reading disabilities, (b) discuss the roles that service dogs currently hold in schools today, and (c) support the presenter in considering new ways to create partnerships that utilize service dogs in the special education and inclusive settings.
