FOREWORD BY DEBI DAVIS
It
takes courage and great passion to be a pioneer; both perseverance and
faith are needed to
map uncharted territory.
In The Golden Bridge, Patty Dobbs
Gross, founder of North Star Foundation, leads us on an extraordinary journey
of heart and mind, allowing us an inside look at how specially trained dogs help
facilitate communication for children with autism and other developmental disabilities,
along with helping to support children who suffer painful circumstances in their
lives that even an adult would find daunting.
Created as a guide to help parents deal
with the social, emotional and educational issues of raising children with challenges, The
Golden Bridge focuses on possibilities and explores the many ways an Assistance
Dog can make a profound difference in their young lives. Myths and labels within
the world of autism are explored, dissected and redefined; thinking "outside
the box"-- pushing past barriers of intolerance and misunderstanding --
is at the heart of this groundbreaking work.
