Arkansas Autism Resource & Outreach Center (AAROC) Support Group Meeting
Tuesday, March 23rd 2010
6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Partners for Inclusive Communities
2001 Pershing Circle, Suite 300
North Little Rock, AR 72114
Stacy Alberson, OTR/L, NARHA-RI
& Omari the Therapy Dog
“Animal Assisted Therapy”
“A wide range of human health professionals and practitioners recognize what many
people in the animal caregiving fields and everyday pet owners have known for years:
that pets can be good for our health and well-being. Companion animals are being
introduced into the therapeutic regimens of many health care institutions: nursing homes,
hospitals, rehabilitation centers, psychiatric institutions and others. Therapeutic riding
programs improve the motor skills and coordination…..In short, wherever people have
special needs, someone with creativity and an animal with the proper temperament can
probably create an imaginative way to bring pets and people together for mutual benefit.”
—Phil Arkow, www.animaltherapy.net
