Service 
​Dogs

I was hesitant on the idea of a service dog at first fearful that the dog wearing a vest standing next to me would make my epilepsy just that much more visible. After the first day of school with Georgie, not only was epilepsy invisible but so was I. She was now the popular kid in school.

Seizure Response Dogs
"In addition to service dogs and companion dogs, Canine Assistants also teaches and provides seizure response dogs for certain recipients. Following general education, seizure response dogs are taught to remain next to the person during the course of a seizure, summon help in a controlled environment, or retrieve a phone prior to the seizure when indicated by the recipient. Certain dogs may even develop the ability to predict and react in advance to an oncoming seizure once they are placed with their recipient."
