"…[E]ssential reading for families, teachers, and anyone who is interested in using service animals to help individuals on the autism spectrum"
- from the foreword by Temple Grandin
This book looks at how therapies involving animals can be used to help individuals with autism to develop skills, including sensory and social skills, to manage challenging behaviors, and improve quality of life.
Whether participating in therapeutic horseback riding, utilizing a trained service dog, visiting a dolphin therapy center, or simply experiencing companion animal therapy, people with autism can reap a multitude of benefits from interaction with furry, feathered, and finned friends. Merope Pavlides relates the success stories of different animal-assisted interventions, as well as noting the challenges of working with particular animal species. She also emphasizes the importance of tailoring interventions to the specific needs of the individual and of monitoring progress.
With recommendations for resources and further reading, this book will be of great interest to people with autism, their parents, and the professionals who work with them. |
