Therapy Dogs In School Settings: Wonderful Educational and Emotional Outcomes

Funded Nov 11, 2023

The updated space has had a positive impact on my students. With the new, smaller file cabinet and the addition of a dog bed, the therapy dog can visit more frequently, allowing students to comfortably sit on the floor and interact with her. Many students have shared that the ocean blue theme creates a calming, sensory-friendly environment.

Staff members have also commented that the space feels more welcoming and emotionally soothing. Additionally, parents have expressed their appreciation for the cozy sofa, noting that it gives the room a homier feel and helps them feel more relaxed during meetings.

Overall, I feel incredibly blessed to have this refreshed space, which benefits all stakeholders.”
