Experience Connections - Full school support

$14,300 inc GST

Each week, a therapy dog and mentor visit your school for a full day. The dog supports two (2) groups of students through your choice of programs, and the mentor completes the rest of the day with the Dog for half a day of fun (3 hours with breaks).

Two programs within this package are subject to evaluations. However, the "Half Dog for a Day" option does not include an evaluation process.
