As part of earning our Animal Helpers badge, we got to meet Jordan, who trains assistance animals, like Quincy. Assistance animals help people with disabilities or health conditions like visual or hearing impairment, epilepsy, or paralysis. Some animals are trained to help calm people who have anxiety or suffer from PTSD.

These assistance animals can learn how to detect when a diabetic is having an issue with their sugar levels, or when someone is about to have a seizure. Others learn how to guide around blind people, or help you move around physically.
