Effects of Animal Assisted Therapy on Autism (Video 3 of 5)


This is a series of videos which shows an Occupational Therapist working with a young man (Zachary) who has autism. I chose it because it shows the progress they make using animal assisted therapy. The connection Zachary has with Henry the dog is plain to see, and having a meaningful occupation (cutting up treats for Henry) enables Zachary to accomplish hand motor skills (using kindergarten scissors).
