After seeing different
videos on animal assisted therapy, I was really curious on how someone would become an animal assisted
therapist. I was looking online, and
this particular school called Animal Behavior Institute, was one that came
up. Through this school, there are many different
options on career choices with working with animals. The website expresses how animal assisted
therapy is a new field and is predicted to be a rapidly growing career. Many
AAT (Animal Assisted Therapists) work closely with psychologists, counselors,
and occupational therapists. I would love to have the opportunity to sit in on a therapy session, and observe the interactions between the children and the animals.
Wow. I think it's crazy (in a good way) that they have a whole school dedicated to this! It;s wonderful that they would work so much on something, especially because it's shown such great promise. How many different schools are there?
ReplyDeleteIf you go online to find animal assisted therapy programs, it is surprising how many schools actually offer this type of degree.
