Description
<p>In 1996, the Delta Society (now Pet Partners) first published Standards of Practice with the intended goal of offering a structured foundation for what was, at the time, an emerging field. This updated edition reflects current best practices consistent with the goals of the first publication: to provide higher quality of service to all clients, to provide a resource for risk management and quality assurance, to provide an educational resource, to provide evidence of internal&nbsp;structure and consistently, and to provide for the health, welfare and safety of all involved.</p><p>These standards of practice are the most comprehensive guidelines for AAI and prescribe a rigorous set of criteria designed to ensure the safety of therapy animals, handlers and clients that they interact with. Animal-assisted interventions are unique in that they can be delivered by volunteers, paraprofessionals and professional practitioners. This publication is intentionally designed to be inclusive of&nbsp; all these audiences and serve&nbsp;as a reference for facilities, individuals and organizations that are seeking to incorporate best practices.</p>
