We encourage young people who struggle to engage positively with their world. Our tutor and therapy dog teams support your kid's emotional and intellectual growth, enabling them to socialise, collaborate and learn confidently. We are a group of passionate and experienced allied health professionals, social workers and educators who share a vision of creating more balanced and positive approaches to learning which lead to calmer classrooms and healthy communities. The ability dogs have to engage people is well documented positively. Our animal-assisted interventions can improve behavioural problems, increase emotional well-being, ease anxiety around learning difficulties, and support young people with autism spectrum disorders. We can also support those students who need a little extra help to get the most out of their education. Canine Comprehension offers dog-assisted learning interventions throughout Metropolitan Melbourne and Regional Victoria. Vision To provide accessible support to young people through dog-assisted learning. Mission It supports those who love & care for young people by delivering student-centred approaches that inspire learning. Values: Integrity: Doing right is always front of mind. Reliability: If we say we can, we will. Supportive: We are not afraid to speak up for our clients. Flexibility: If our client's circumstances change, we change with them.
