Summary

"This short book covers everything school staff need to know about the practicalities and benefits of introducing a therapy dog. It includes all of the key information the author has gleaned from doing this at her school, when she had to make it up as she went along due to lack of relevant publications. It is a special education title really, but also relevant to mainstream settings and should certainly be marketed to the autism community. The author's special school caters for ages 2-19 so the book will use examples of the dog's effect on very young children through to teenagers. Animal assisted therapy has been around a while and is mostly used with ASD, in dementia care, hospital settings and counselling, but there is currently a lot of interest in AAT in education" --, Provided by publisher
