North
Star was founded on the rock-solid belief that quality matters when
approaching the work of partnering a dog with a child with special
needs; how could it not, when the potential to awaken opportunities
for a child on the autism spectrum exists, as well as the potential
for a painful dog bite?
North Star has
been incorporated for fifteen years and have over 250 successful
assistance dog
placements around
the world, with over 100 to children somewhere on the autism
spectrum.
We also work with
children with different developmental differences such as Down
Syndrome,
physical
conditions such as epilepsy, as well as emotional challenges such as
grief, anxiety
or pain from
serious illness.
Gross wrote a
book about raising her son, Danny, in autism's dark ages as well as
founding
North Star as our
family came out of the shadows, THE GOLDEN BRIDGE: A Guide to
Assistance Dogs
for Children Challenged by Autism or Other Developmental Disabilities
(Purdue University
Press, July 2006). The book helps others to understand North
Star's unique philosophy of placement. It can be ordered, best price,from Amazon. Her share of the royalties are donated to North Star
Foundation.

Horses and Heroes is a
Reality TV series, which combines the highly effective Peer Support
Therapy with Equine Therapy. Unlike most in the genre, it will focus
on healing and positive growth rather than endorsing bad behavior.
Each season will bring together the veterans from WWII to the current
conflicts. They will be sharing their challenges and supporting each
other as they find new solutions. They know the talk, because they
have walked the walk. They see the dodges and will be able to call
each other on them. Sparks may fly. Tempers may flare, especially
when they force each other to face the ghosts. But will also be
laughter and fun as they rebuild the comradery. The snarkiness and
practical jokes between the branches don't simply end. There is
always room for just one more. When it airs, it will reach into the
homes of the veterans, who need to hear that they are not alone and
give them the information as well as the permission to also heal.
They will help each other find their way back to the world. Veterans
can’t go back and make a brand new start; but they can start from
now and make a brand new end.
