Ty's Story... our 2014 beneficiary

Ty is a 4 year old, joyful little boy with a great sense of humor and an infectious smile. He has a boisterous laugh that will brighten up a room.

At the age of two, Ty was diagnosed with provisional autism. We saw a developmental doctor six months later and he was given the diagnosis of autism. His next doctor appointment was with a neurologist, whom felt Ty had some type of syndrome with autistic characteristics. We were then on a year and a half journey to discover what was truly going on with our little Ty. He wasn't growing, he had had tubes in his ears three different times, and he still was not talking or really improving. We decided to take the trip to the Mayo Clinic to see if we could get some more solid answers about Ty. Over five days, Ty saw several doctors, had several blood tests, surgery, MRI, and x-rays. The doctors diagnosed Ty with a global delay. A global delay means he is on the autism spectrum has a conductive hearing loss, short stature, and also additional physical, occupational, and speech delays. Regardless of his disabilities, Ty pushes on as the strongest person we've known and has taught his older brother and us more than we could ever imagine. His strength, perseverance, and determination are traits we all admire.

Ty has daily struggles. He quickly becomes frustrated when he cannot communicate what he wants. He tries to say many words; we just can't always understand him. If he cannot get his point across, he immediately finds something to throw or even hits himself in the head. Ty makes unusual sounds when he is seeking sensory input, such as anything spinning, lighting up or lining up cars or objects. These are self-stimulating activities that can be disruptive and can take away from his ability to focus.

An Autism service dog will provide sensory input, assistance for self-calming in order to avoid additional stemming and potentially self-destructive behaviors. Given Ty's age and developmental delays, the dog will also provide companionship; help Ty with social engagement and interactions. The service dog will also provide Ty with the opportunity to mimic daily life skills such as feeding & grooming, and an increase to his speech and language skills and he learns to give his dog commands.

Our hope for Ty is that he becomes a valuable contributing member to society. Although he may be behind his peers developmentally, we know he has the potential to succeed. We are doing everything we can to make this strong boy become successful. Ty has been to more doctor appointments and had his blood drawn more times that we can remember, but he has never complained and always toughens it out. He is a bright, handsome, joyful young boy that is ready to break out of his shell and we feel a therapy dog is the channel to achieving this breakthrough and will become a crucial companion. A therapy dog will be an additional support system to help Ty with his daily struggles and will become a wonderful part of our family to support Ty on his life journey with autism.
