2011 research
Animal assisted therapy is being utilized in pediatric physical therapy services. Along with ChildServe, Johnston, Iowa, we are collaborating our efforts to investigate the efficacy of animal-assisted therapeutic interventions. Clinical education is my other area of research interest to identify types of educational experiences for students, certified clinical instructors and effective evaluation tools.
