Who are MIRA?
MIRA works to help disabled individuals lead their lives independently as functioning members of society. We do this by providing dogs bred and trained to respond to their adaptation and rehabilitation needs.
MIRA Foundation’s services are made available, free of charge, to individuals with one or many visual or motor disabilities, and to children presenting Pervasive Development Disorders such as autism.
At MIRA, we subscribe to a principle of physical equality. Namely, we believe that anything that is accessible to the public at large should be accessible to handicapped individuals. Our work consists in helping individuals with one or many disabilities to adapt to life with these disabilities. We concentrate our efforts on improving the functional abilities of individuals, in particular in regard to mobility and orientation, so that they can get around freely in their living environment.

Identifying physical obstacles and social resistance in the lives of each one of our clients is also an important part of our job, as much as a guarantee of our success. ln our endeavour to make complete rehabilitation possible, we work hard to eliminate certain fears in schools, to bring people to accept dogs as tools in children’s development, and to fight against unjustified, often misplaced, apprehensions in having seeing-eye dogs in public places or transit. …
