Aubrey, a smart and fun-loving little girl, was introduced to W.A.G.S. 4 Kids in December 2017. At only 16 months old, Aubrey began therapy services to assist with her developmental delays like social anxiety, sensory processing delays, motor planning issues and speech apraxia.

Although Aubrey had come a long way and showed improvement from her therapies, her lack of confidence and sensory processing challenges prevented her from trying and enjoying new and familiar activities with the family. Often, her family needed to leave events early or miss them entirely due to Aubrey’s inability to manage the sensory overload or her anxiety.

Aubrey’s parents, Michelle and Rich, were looking for a service dog for their daughter to help her gain independence and the confidence to be able to navigate her overwhelming world with more ease. Like many of our W.A.G.S. 4 Kids families, Aubrey’s family also wanted to be able to go out and enjoy events in public and create more memories together.
