Has anyone had any experience/knowledge in where to start to get a service dog for a handicapped adult child? My son is 30, autistic, and has seizures. We had never thought about the benefits of a dog until his neurologist brought it up. Unfortunately she did not know where I could begin in finding out how to go about getting one. Could sure use some help on this. THANKS!!!!

I'm sure the people who place the dogs will also know the ins and outs of insurance benefits. 

Tricare probably doesn't deal with it on a regular basis and won't have a clue what she's talking about.

People who place the dogs, deal with insurance companies all the time.
