Description:

The main objective of this course is to expose students broadly to the many and varied ways that animals are used in a form of service and support. It will also include agencies that work with animals outside the specific role of "service therapy" such as the Humane Society andthe Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks. This course will explore the many different ways that animals are important and valuable to humans. Students will become more aware of what it is like to have a disability and how animals play a role in assistance. It will emphasize the role of specific training and relationships required for the animals to be working partners with their handlers. This course requires a partnership between the St. Francis Institute and various organizations and individuals in the greater Helena area. These agencies and individuals will share with our students the role that their animals play in their work. There will be a major writing component to this class. Open to all students.
