Postgraduate certificate Non-Conventional Animal-Assisted Interventions

Since they began to be documented in the 17th century, Animal-Assisted Interventions were mainly performed with the participation of dogs and/or horses, and were mostly restricted to helping people with some type of physical or psychological pathology. However, over the years and with humans and animals developing bonds in different environments, these interventions have been expanded to new scenarios to facilitate the participation of other species. This high-level program includes specialized knowledge of Non-Conventional Animals that regularly participate in Assisted Interventions collected by professionals with years of experience in the field.

Introduction to the Program

You will have at your disposal a complete compendium of materials in multimedia format that will facilitate your learning”

The pioneering species in these fields were farm animals (chickens, cows, sheep, pigs, and others), which were initially used as therapeutic aids for people with psychiatric pathologies. Thus, therapeutic farms were born in Europe and the United Kingdom, with the aim of allowing these people to develop skills in caring for another living being, have the possibility of socializing and enjoy new recreational environments.

Later, the work of zoo trainers and caretakers gave way to the first approaches using less conventional species in a controlled environment, such as marine mammals living under human care. Such animals regularly interact with people so they have developed skills that can be used in therapeutic environments for the treatment of physical, neurological and psychoemotional pathologies.

This program offers specialized knowledge of non-conventional animals that regularly participate in Assisted Interventions, characteristics and recommendations in terms of their care, work methodologies with respect to both birds and users, pathologies for which these animals are suited and the basic parameters that ensure their well-being. Likewise, future perspectives in this area will be considered and examined.

Throughout these weeks of students will develop transversal competences at a theoretical and practical level, specifically in the therapy conducted with different types of patients and in the handling of animals used in AAI. They will have the ability to develop Assisted Therapy methodologies based on specific patient objectives or a systematic methodology that guarantees learning.
