Pediatric Animal Assisted Therapy
in Fayetteville, AR
Why Animal Assisted Therapy
Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) is utilized to provide a sense of calm to our Kindred kids. AAT improves comfortability, reduces stress, and increases participation in therapy activities. Research shows that children often relate better to animals than humans. Our therapists can incorporate Turtle, our therapy dog, into the therapy session to improve communication and engagement.
How Turtle and AAT Can Help
Developing positive feelings towards animals can contribute to a child’s self-esteem and self-confidence. Positive relationships with animals can aid in the development of trusting relationships with others. Since gaining strong rapport and increasing the comfortability of our Kindred patients is a top priority, Turtle can be utilized to boost that connection, which provides better progress and outcomes.
