History & Evolution of AAT
 Animal Assisted Therapy goes back as far as the late
1700’s.
 AAT was brought to Houston in the 1980’s.
 Initial benefits of AAT: improved affect, stress relief & lower
blood pressure.
 AAT begins working with CTRS’; utilized in goal based
therapies in 1990.
AAT Today
 Today AAT is used in many different settings and with
countless different populations.
 For each setting, population or patient our therapy animals
are used for a specific goal.
 For each individual that the therapy animals visit with,
there is a specific treatment strategy. Some may have
several goals, some may only have one.
 Each animal may have an area in which they are “experts”
depending on their size, skill or personality.
Therapeutic Strategies
 AAT is a great asset to the physical rehabilitation scope.
 Current program focuses on SCI, TBI, CVA and amputation.
 Several strategies based on patient population and goal.
 AAT benefits those with physical disabilities in many ways.
Creating a Successful Program

team.
 Critical factor: Full integration of the therapeutic mission.
 Being viewed as part of the team-not a distraction.
 Sharing therapeutic goals.
 Enthusiasm.
