This paper presents the perspective of a mother whose son is a person with disabilities and has been granted the right to use a therapy dog at the age of five. The dog has been with them for 14 years, out of which 8 years served as a therapy dog. Developmental difficulties, such as visual impairment, affect all areas of human life, not only for the child with the impairment but also for the entire family. Given the challenges faced in daily functioning, children with visual impairments require assistance and support. The support of loved ones, including family and friends, is particularly important. Social integration is one of the most challenging aspects for children with visual impairments, making it crucial for the environment to accept and respect them as they are. Timely intervention and early developmental professionals are also key factors for children with visual impairments, as their knowledge and expertise contribute to improving the child's condition. Quality collaboration and rehabilitation that yield results require the engagement of the child's entire family. Working with a therapy dog is included as part of the rehabilitation for children with visual impairments. Assorted studies have shown the multiple benefits and advantages achieved through such collaboration, including physical, psychological, and emotional well-being. Numerous studies on parents' opinions and attitudes towards involving therapy dogs in the rehabilitation of children with disabilities have also yielded positive results. The right to access therapy dog services is regulated by law in the Republic of Croatia.
