On our way up to the Scottish highlands today we stopped off for a wee photo opportunity with the inspiration for my books, the ‘real’ Bess of Clara Vale.
Bess is the most gentle black Labrador and part of the team at one of Autism North East’s Assessment service and post-diagnostic support bases in Clara Vale.
You can read more about their therapy dog, Bess, and find out more about this extremely experienced and professional multidisciplinary team on their FB book page, ‘Autism North East’ and on their website here
NOTE: Bess is only present if clients request her presence and not for those who would prefer her not to be.
