Brain Health

“Brain Health is an emerging and growing concept that encompasses neural development, plasticity, functioning, and recovery across the life course.”[1]

 

Since the brain is mission control, a person’s ability to function well in any domain of everyday life rests on good brain health.  And given that the brain ages just as the rest of our body does, it is vital to keep your brain healthy throughout life.

Animal Assisted Therapy

Animal-assisted therapy uses animals, and dogs in particular, to improve cognitive and emotional functioning. Animals help to build a report between the therapist and the patient, and can include domesticated pets and farm animals.

During the first stages of animal-assisted therapy, the therapist will assess the client's needs without animals present. The animal is only introduced once the therapist has developed a treatment plan.

The next stage involves a bond being developed between the client and the animal through motor skills. The animals are used to motivate the client, and to create positive interactions that can be translated into human interaction.

The therapist will monitor improvement and once a positive interaction is established between the client and the animal, the client is given independence in making choices for their partner in Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) therapy.
