Lola and I are a Certified Therapy Team. Lola will be visiting my classroom periodically to assist with classes as well as individual and group sessions.
Social Benefits:
- Students build self-esteem, confidence, and social skills.
- Fosters feelings of safety and acceptance.
- Teaches to give rather than receive.
- Trusting relationships are formed.
Research also shows that therapy dogs are beneficial to students who have a difficult time with reading fluency and reading comprehension. Lola will be available for students that need extra encouragement and confidence to become a great reader.
