STANDARDISING
ASSISTANCE
DOGS.
Offering people with disabilities who have non ADUK assistance dogs the opportunity to gain peace of mind by having their assistance dog independently assessed.
WHY ADAA?
The Assistance Dog Assessment Association (ADAA), is a charity that offers people living with disabilities the opportunity to have their assistance dog independently assessed.
Combined we have more than 30 years experience within the assistance dog sector, both within Assistance Dogs UK (ADUK) and non ADUK/owner trained organisations. We appreciate that being an owner trained team or Non ADUK team can make access to services difficult, that is why we have complied a comprehensive public access assessment to bridge this gap.
We at the ADAA want to help offer you peace of mind working your assistance dog.
