interesting topic I have never really heard about. It is probably difficult to do, but a video example of some therapy sessions with AAT would have been very helpful and interesting. ... Even with a non client/another clinician role playing the part of a client.

I took both of the AAT courses because it is an interest of mine. They are good courses but the first one needs to be updated. One of the questions on the first course has an "all of the above" option. While I know that the ADA defines service animals as not being pets, in my personal experience with service dog owners, many refer to them as such. This, coupled with an option that "only dogs can be service animals" which is incorrect since mini horses are allowed, made me pick the wrong answer.

I've often thought about having one of my dogs certified as a therapy dog to bring into school with me to work with children. I think after watching both of the video courses, I now know that this is not the right course for me or my dogs and appreciate being able to learn this prior to starting that process.

The discussion of the different types of specialized animal supports. The difference between Animal Assisted Activities, Animal Assisted Therapy and Service animals. Guidelines and references were given if an individual was interested in becoming certified themselves or bringing in a certified animal team during therapy. The course also went over the clinicians responsibility to the client and mom-human animal.

The question about making adaptations for immunocompromised individuals... It said in the presentation that you'd touch on how to address that, but it never came back around. Then, it was a test question. Did I miss something? I even consulted the transcript to see if I had spaced, and it was really only mentioned in the questions after the presentation. Even then, it was stated there wasn't a lot of evidence to support tv-style vs. zoom.

I think it was probably helpful for SLPs who are specifically looking to work through logistics of incorporating a service animal into therapy. I must've misunderstood what the course was going to be, because I was looking more for specific benefits to patients who work with animals in therapy and more practical applications of how it can be applied to a variety of language and cognitive goals.

I was hoping for more ideas about how to incorporate animal assisted therapy into my clinical practice. The information provided was relatively basic and dry. It did not bring to life all the possibilities that AAT brings to our practice. The presenter showed pictures of her dogs, whom she admitted are not appropriate for AAT. We all know what dogs look like. How about some videos or photos of animals participating in AAT? How about some therapy ideas?
