On Therapy Thursday, we highlight other Therapy Animals and the services they provide.
Young Caleb was in a head-on auto collision and suffered from a traumatic brain injury. Part of his treatment included visits with a therapy dog, Colonel. On the very first visit that Caleb had with Colonel, his parents noticed a significant change in his awareness. This change helped the Caleb's father have confidence that Caleb would recover from the brain injury. With the help of Colonel, Caleb gained the motivation to move so he could pet his new furry pal. These small movements helped Caleb improve. Each visit with Colonel helped Caleb's therapy progress. This animal therapy program and many like it have made a positive impact on the health of children and Caleb's recovery is just one example of this impact.
