At this school for children with special needs our canine therapists assist us by acting as a motivator to help a child reach his goals. we work with our therapy dogs in group sessions to improve language efficiency, communication skills and personality development. Through activities like playing fetch, brushing the dog, giving him treats, taking him for a walk etc. we will help improve the child's social, motor and verbal skills. The children enjoy doing these activities for the dog and it speeds up the treatment process.
