The Association puts great emphasise on supporting the interest representation and social integration of people with disabilities, as well as on forming social attitudes. Educating children for being tolerant and the better social integration of people with disabilities are two goals that reinforce each other. Kindergarten children experience empathy at an early age through tale therapy and the presence of assistance dogs. Volunteers of the association show the everyday life of hearing, visual, mentally impaired or handicapped people or people living with autism. They organise a conference on assistance dogs and social integration for experts in the field. They form the attitudes of the broader society by involving media, creating a website and a film. They cooperate with ELTE Bárczy Gusztáv Faculty of Special Education, with kindergartens and other assistance dog organisation in implementing programs.
