Reading education assistance dogs ("R.E.A.D.") -This program has grown way beyond the organization's local service territory. The organization has trained and registered almost 6,000 volunteer therapy teams in all 50 states and 25 additional countries to provide reading support programs, utilizing therapy animals as reading companions, in school, libraries and other settings. The organization service includes training, facilitating and supporting all these teams around the country and the world.
Associates - because the organization has been very successful in its work and has standards that are now recognized around the country, the organization has had more than a dozen colleage therapy groups who have asked to make use of its training and testing protocols. The organization currently has 21 such groups in 17 other states. While supporting them does not take as much time as supporting its own teams, the organization does provide training manuals, travel to some locations to conduct workshops and team screenings, and otherwise provide facilitation and "customer support" to these groups
