Speech Therapy in Atlanta, Sandy Springs and Dunwoody, GA. Speak to a Pediatric Speech Therapist Now
Have you wondered about Animal Assisted Therapy?
Sage offers expert animal assisted speech therapy in Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody and surrounding areas.
Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) is a goal-directed intervention. It’s directed or delivered by a health/human service professional with specialized expertise within their scope of professional practice. That is the Delta Society definition.
What does that mean to us? That the animal is included in the speech-language therapy with a licensed certified speech-language pathologist who either is the trained dog handler as well – the dog is their dog – or, there is a handler and a certified therapy dog participating with them. We’ll talk more about that later. Animal-assisted therapy is designed to promote improvement in human physical, emotional, social, and other cognitive functioning.
