Animal assisted play therapy is currently enjoying unprecedented acknowledgment and acceptance within the professional community, and a credential through the International Institute for Animal Assisted Play Therapy is now available. Research continues to validate the introduction of animals into the therapeutic setting. Promising results have been achieved with a variety of presenting diagnoses across all age groups.
Animal co-play therapists shed the light on areas we miss with our verbal skills in the therapy room. Step into that light and explore limits, compassion fatigue, trusting the process, and silence with hands on, play therapy based techniques utilizing live and/or stuffed animals. Discover the ethical, practical, and safety issues that surround working with animals in a clinical setting.
