Dear Valued Listener/Viewer,
In this episode of 'Get Inspired with Dr. Barb', I discuss the transformative role of therapy dogs in education with guests Ginette Garrity, a teacher, and Katie Baron, a therapy dog advocate. They explore how therapy dogs can enhance learning experiences, foster engagement, and create a positive classroom environment. The conversation highlights innovative teaching methods, the importance of collaboration between teachers and therapy dog teams, and practical advice for educators looking to implement similar programs in their schools. Bonus: Archer, Katie's incredible therapy dog, makes an appearance in this episode!
