Description
An in-depth look at Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) definitions, laws, animal training, and case files of students who have participated in the five-year program dispensed in various alternative high schools. At-risk teenagers present multiple disorders and disabilities ranging from learning disabilities to severe anxiety, depression, anger, and autism spectrum-related conditions. Discover how dogs, rats, horses, and wolves help students transition from dysfunctional to functional individuals by training animal superstars. The adolescents leave the AAT program with self-esteem, confidence, self-awareness, interpersonal communication skills, and an overall positive outlook on life.
