The impact of animal-assisted therapy on psychoneurological status of children with developmental pathology (6 to 12 years)

Abstract

Currently, there is an increasingly arising question about new non-medicinal remedies for children, including animal-assisted therapy, which uses the person’s own reserves. The method of animal-assisted therapy exerts an effective influence on the positive dynamics in changing the psychoneurological status and higher psychological functions of children with developmental pathology. The application of the animal-assisted therapy method in psychocorrection of children with pathology from 6 to 12 years is the most relevant and quite efficient.
