Abstract
ABSTRACTA human-animal intervention (HAI) team approach to animal-assisted therapy is described and assessed. The effectiveness of this modality is evaluated in two case studies of emotionally disturbed children. Two school age children (both males, 11 and 12 years of age) participated in an average of 12 weekly sessions. Progress of individual goals was assessed through numerous sources: The ADD-M comprehensive Teacher Rating Scale (ACTeRS); observations during each session from school district researchers and professionals; video tapes of the therapy sessions; the participants' Individual Education Plans (IEP); and post-intervention interviews with the participants, their families, and the educational professionals involved. Evaluation showed positive results for the majority of individual goals set.
