Abstract | This report discusses the benefits of canine-assisted reading through the "Tail Waggin' Tutors" program at the Glen Burnie Regional Library in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Presented are the two different types of therapy dog interactions, Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) and Animal-Assisted Activities (AAA). The first canine-assisted reading program in the United States, "Reading Education Assistance Dogs" ("READ") is discussed, along with why it is essential to have certified therapy dogs when running a canine-assisted reading program. Information is presented on therapy dog organizations and how the "Tail Waggin' Tutors" program at the Glen Burnie Regional Library began. (As Provided). |
