Sommario/riassunto

&hellip; [E]ssential reading for families, teachers, and anyone who is interested in using service animals to help individuals on the autism spectrum&quot;. - from the foreword by Temple Grandin. This book looks at how therapies involving animals can be used to help individuals with autism to develop skills, including sensory and social skills, to manage challenging behaviors, and improve quality of life. Whether participating in therapeutic horseback riding, utilizing a trained service dog, visiting a dolphin therapy center, or simply experiencing companion animal therapy, people with autism
