15. Case description Laura 8 year old

16. Case description Laura 8 year old
Laura is an 8-year old beautiful girl living with autism. She spends 5 hours with me every week. According to her diagnosis she is a headstrong in tasks, she does what she feels like doing despite warming, she doesn’tlike compromises. She’s weak at observing rules.She is clumsy when changing activities. Her attention is easily distracted.Avoids eye contact.Problematic behavior, fits of rage, she isn’t willing to accept control.Shows dislike with shouting. When she started school, her socialbehavior was behind her peers. Summary In two years she went through a huge development socially and mentally; she pays attention in class, tries to understand and accept rules. Though it’s the beginning of a long process, this little girl and her parents, teachers and classmates could handle obstacles very well. In this case, despite problems at the beginning, integration was successful. I’m aware of the fact that Laura’s “taming” isn’t only due to the bunny-therapy; but I’m sure it made a great contribution to her development, along with the other development methods.

17. Case description Peter 8 year old

18. Case description Peter 8 year old
Peter is a autism (ASD) boy, who lives also with a selective mutism (selective Mutis). He closed himself in his own little world and he let only one or two people in, but only for a short period of time. He doesn’t make any contact to his teachers or to his mates, he doesn’t speak with them. Apparently he doesn’t understand the tasks/exercises, he doesn’t show any emotion, but in writing he works beautifully. He has repetitive movements, he is sitting often on the floor and swinging back and forth. He participate two hours a week on occupation with therapy dogs. Summary The dog occupations have a very good effect on him, he can tell the learned poetry and he occurs in the classroom and he answers the questions, but somtimes difficult to understand. I can see him smiling only at the dog occupations. He likes the small group sessions with the dogs, he is much more relaxed in these hours, he takes part with pleasure on the games. Over a year he has improved a lot.
