動(dòng)物以我們?nèi)祟愲y以做到的方式幫助有特殊需要的兒童

The goats are playing the piano! You may think it’s a joke but it happens in our house. I blame the cat, our fantastical cat called Thula who helped my daughter with autism in ways that we, humans, struggled to and their bond has inspired a movement of special needs parents to see how these animals can heal and teach our children. So we live in harmony with these animals and in turn, they help us with our little charity.

山羊在彈鋼琴!你可能認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)玩笑，但它發(fā)生在我們家。我把功勞給了那只貓，我們那只名叫圖拉的幻想貓，它以我們?nèi)祟愲y以做到的方式幫助我患有自閉癥的女兒，它們的關(guān)系激發(fā)了一場特殊需要父母的運(yùn)動(dòng)，讓他們看看這些動(dòng)物如何治愈和教育我們的孩子。所以我們與這些動(dòng)物和諧相處，反過來，它們用我們微薄的愛心幫助我們。

I created an autism-friendly club, The Little Explorers Activity Club, that offers Animal Assisted Therapy. A safe and understanding environment to have fun and socialize with other families alongside therapy that is very successful with anxiety, autism, ADD, ADHD, depression and many other conditions. It has been seen to lower blood pressure, help concentration, calm anxiety and build confidence. Interacting with animals increases attention spans and has a positive calming effect helping with social interaction.

我創(chuàng)建了一個(gè)對(duì)自閉癥患者友好的俱樂部——小探險(xiǎn)家活動(dòng)俱樂部(Little Explorers Activity club)，它提供動(dòng)物輔助治療。在治療焦慮、自閉癥、ADD、ADHD、抑郁癥和許多其他病癥的同時(shí)，為孩子們提供一個(gè)安全、理解的環(huán)境，讓他們?cè)谙硎軜啡さ耐瑫r(shí)與其他家庭進(jìn)行社交。它被認(rèn)為可以降低血壓，幫助集中注意力，平息焦慮，建立自信。與動(dòng)物互動(dòng)可以增加注意力持續(xù)時(shí)間，并有積極的鎮(zhèn)定作用，有助于社會(huì)互動(dòng)。
