Zoo therapy evaluation
Pet therapy is becoming increasingly popular. It is often seen as the presence of an animal in one's environment, but it can actually be much more. For the professionals who practice pet therapy, it is a structured activity with very specific therapeutic objectives aimed at improving a person's physical or mental condition.
Initiating this kind of project means choosing an animal that is suitable for pet therapy.
- What clientele do you wish to stimulate?
e.g. Senior citizens, autistic children, people with disabilities, etc.
- Where?
e.g. A senior’s home, a group home for youths, a centre for the disabled.
- How often?
e.g. From time to time, on a regular basis (weekly or monthly).
- Through what kind of organization?
e.g. A social worker, a non-profit organization operating in the community.
- Why?
e.g. To distract, to stimulate motility or to facilitate communication.
- Have allergies and zoonotic diseases been taken into account?
- Who covers the behaviour evaluation and veterinary costs?
- How is transportation of the animal or target clientele organized?
- Will the animal be at ease in this situation? Repeated stress can cause physical and mental health problems in an animal.
- Is the animal's behaviour appropriate for the chosen activity?
