How You and Your Pet can Become an ITA Volunteer Animal-Assisted Therapy Team
First, make sure you have an animal that is suitable for animal-assisted therapy work.
Then, arrange to attend a training program. For more information on the training program, view the workshop brochure (558 KByte PDF -- requires Adobe Acrobat Reader).
The next step is to make an appointment to be evaluated.
The final step is to show up at the evaluation appointment. At this evaluation, you and your therapy animal candidate will be tested for the necessary skills and aptitude for animal-assisted therapy work. Details on the evaluation process are available on the ITA web site.
Yes, I want to become an ITA volunteer animal-assisted therapy team!
