Animal Assisted Education - Delivered in school
|
The Berry Fields framework supports all settings that workwith children and young adults, inspiring them to connect with animals to enhance and accelerate meaningful learning.
|
Animal Assisted Education comprises a range of practical activities involving equines that are designed and selected to help assist people in
supporting their personal physical, mental and emotional well being. Activities are designed to meet specific goals and objectives and progress is constantly monitored and reviewed linked to
curriculum outcomes.
"A pet is an island of sanity in what appears to be an insane world. Friendship retains its traditional values and securities in one's relationship with one's pet. Whether a dog, cat, bird, fish, turtle, or what have you, one can rely upon the fact that one's pet will always remain a faithful, intimate, non-competitive friend, regardless of the good or ill fortune life brings us."
If you are an animal lover, you will fully relate to this quote from American child psychologist Dr. Boris Levinson. There is no doubt that humans have a strong bond with animals, and it is this bond that led to the introduction of animal-assisted therapy (AAT) (EAL) (AAE), or Equine Assisted Learning and Animal Assisted Education - the idea that animals can help humans cope with or recover from certain medical and learning conditions.
