After 19 years of volunteering with my certified/registered therapy dogs, it is amazing all the ways animals are able to help rehab patients move toward and recover to the level for them (brain trauma, spinal injuries, stroke), as well as Children's Hospital, Library programs for children with reading problems, disadvantaged children,and even a special program for children with Autism and the entire family.<br /><br />The program was inspired by an 11 year old who had a Dr. telling his parents to give up teaching him to read due to his Autism. The mom brought him to our reading programming, where he petted his first dog (typically afraid of his shaking hands), made eye contact with my Adam, went home and began to make eye contact with everyone at home, continuing to do so. The best part is that he read to Adam and his mom told me that he was at 5th grade reading level! They got him his own dog and he continued to read and improve!<br /><br />Our dogs will never achieve all they are capable because they wait in us to provide the guidance.<br /><br />Suzanne<br />Jackson, Mississippi areaSuzanne Veninghttp://paws.puzzles.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-42114239875842881762012-03-08T09:54:56.007-08:002012-03-08T09:54:56.007-08:00Wonderful article>
