Services - Our AAT programs with children

  For Developmental disabilities

For children with developmental disabilities like Autism or Cerebral Palsy, assisting in feeding, grooming, exercising and playing with our therapy animals promotes the development of motor and organizational skills. But most of all, in caring for our pets these children (whose frame of reference usually does not extend beyond them) learn to relate to and communicate better in their interpersonal relationships.

  For Learning Disabilities

We also use AAT to help children with Learning Disabilities. Reading in the presence of our therapy pets creates a motivating, safe and non-judgmental environment for the child. Our therapy pets make the best reading companions as they do not make fun of or criticize the child and the child proceeds at his own pace.

  For emotional/behavioural problems

We use animal-assisted therapy to help children with emotional or behavioural problems. Playing with an animal in a supervised way reduces negative behaviours, creates a sense of responsibility and even improves a child's ability to participate in therapeutic treatment.

  For Kindergartens and Schools

Our AAT programs in kindergartens and schools aim at educating children about animals. Showing children what it means to be responsible for another creature's survival helps teach them important life lessons such as discipline, patience, kindness and attentiveness.
