Comfort Dog Program
|
Bailey, our NYC certified therapy dog, will be a part of our school community for this school year. Bailey will be included in classroom lessons on social-emotional learning, resiliency, and human/animal interaction.
Additionally, students may have the opportunity to interact directly with Bailey for more individualized social-emotional learning opportunities. For example, interacting with Bailey may help students with counseling sessions meet their social-emotional performance (e.g. socialization and communication) goals.
Bailey may also be used as part of our school’s crisis intervention protocols, including behavioral crisis de-escalation and bereavement assistance.
