Exploring the Therapeutic Value between Pets and People; an OTA Student's Perspective

Within OT practice, the therapeutic use of pets is often considered to be an occupationbased or preparatory intervention, depending on how it is incorporated into one’s therapeutic goals and intervention process

therapeutic use:foster social participation

self-regulation, sensory modulation, discrimination, motor performance and praxis skills

Dr. Edward Creagan, professor of oncology at the Mayo Clinic

Gretchen Carlisle

led a study that surveyed 70 families that had children with autism between the ages of eight and eighteen

The data revealed that in families with dogs, the children were more likely to engage in behaviors such as introducing themselves, asking for information, or responding to other client’s questions

another study exploring the benefits of pet therapy with clients with post traumatic stress disorder

participants working with dogs demonstrated lowered heart rates and improved changes in stress response and increased levels of oxytocin

The potential benefits to the community regarding the therapeutic project are many

The service would be offered at no cost since the students will be required to conduct the outreach as part of a grade

.The Student Occupational Therapy Association club and the Veterinary Technology club would accept donations and have fundraisers in order to obtain the needed program supplies

The shelter would initially assess the animals,by testing their temperaments to determine if they would be appropriate for the therapeutic pet program

The animals may also have future homes due to the potential of being adopted by those participating in the program, if a positive fit is established
