So grateful to Lauryn Tacker and the Ag for Autism podcast for inviting us to share the Kajun K-9 story. โค๏ธ
It was an honor to talk about why we do what we do, our passion for helping families affected by autism, and some exciting things coming next for Kajun K-9.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share our mission. We can't wait for everyone to hear this episode!
๐พ NEW EPISODE ALERT! ๐๏ธ
What if one of the greatest supports for an individual on the Autism spectrum had four paws?
This week on Cultivating Spectrum Connections, I'm joined by Macie Headley, owner of Kajun K-9 Behavior and Obedience, whose personal journey as the mother of a son with Autism completely changed the direction of her life.
After her son's diagnosis, Macie discovered the incredible impact a service dog could have, not only for her own family but for countless others. That passion grew into a mission of training service dogs for children on the autism spectrum.
In this heartfelt conversation, we discuss:
๐ถ How her son's autism inspired a new career
๐ The powerful connection between children and service dogs
๐พ The difference between service dogs, therapy dogs, and emotional support animals
๐ฒ Why service dogs are such an investment
๐ก How training benefits the entire family, not just the dog
โจ Encouragement for families wondering if a service dog is right for their child
Whether you're simply curious or seriously considering a service dog, this episode offers honest insight, practical information, and hope from someone who's lived it.
