A Pet Therapy Program is incorporated into our program as one of the many services we provide for staff and students.  Trained therapy dogs will come in to "work" with us from time to time with their co-worker teacher/owner, providing the unconditional love, affection, and acceptance that only these special "guests" can bring.  Research has shown that therapy dogs in schools can help build strong social emotional skills in students.  A therapy dog’s presence has also been shown to reduce anxiety, help students work through anger management concerns, reduce bullying tendencies, and address other personal and social issues that students deal with.
