Since 2020, the Mira Foundation has proudly supported the MECA-ASD research project, conducted in collaboration with researchers Nicolas Dollion and Marine Grandgeorge. This project has been made possible thanks to Mira’s support and the generous participation of children with ASD who are beneficiaries of assistance dogs.

The symposium will provide an opportunity to share the project’s findings and discuss several key topics, including autism, family, and the role of assistance dogs.

On this occasion, Nathe François, Ph.D., Director of Research at Mira, will represent the organization and give voice to the beneficiaries who contributed to the project.
