Animal Assisted Therapy

Animal Assisted Therapy is described as:

“a goal-directed intervention in which an animal that meets specific criteria is an integral part of the treatment process. AAT is directed and/or delivered by a health/human service professional with specialised expertise and within the scope of practice of his/her profession. Outcomes are documented, measured and evaluated.”

Sarah has combined the techniques of AAT and her experiences as a teacher to create an intervention that is beneficial to children with SEND and SEMH needs. She creates individualised programmes that address goals of Educational Healthcare Plans. Detailed reports are provided that can be used at annual review meetings.

• ADHD

• Anxiety

• Asperger Syndrome

• Attachment/Trauma disorder

• Autistic Spectrum

• Behavioural Issues

• Global Learning Delay

• Phobias

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorde
