Dog Assisted Wellbeing Service
School visits
Noodle is well-behaved and serene around children, offering various forms of educational assistance. He excels at diverting children from stress, promoting self-regulation in a natural way.
Noodle fosters interaction and communication through his desire for attention, which helps lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and boosts the release of happiness-inducing hormones.
He relishes belly rubs, neck scratches, ear massages, or simply sitting quietly for a cuddle.
Engaging in play with his collection of tennis and squeaky rubber balls provides Noodle with hours of fun and is an effective method to foster interaction, encourage movement, and build trust and rapport.
Noodle also serves as an incentive for school attendance and enhancing focus and concentration, rewarding students with time spent with him for their participation or task completion.
He is adept at supporting students with neurodiverse needs and those experiencing emotional challenges.
Paws4Minds is capable of tailoring sessions to include circular activities, integrating subjects like Personal Social Health Education, PE, Science, Maths, and more.
Noodle is an excellent addition to an EHC Plan.
