Camelid Assisted Therapy


A place for learning, for growth, for change................
while having fun

Do you know a someone that 'nothing works' for? Who won't or can't engage? Who seems disinterested at best and disruptive at worst?  The one perhaps who takes all your time and attention?
Would you like an exciting and different way of approaching the National Curriculum that involves more than just "learning"?
How about engaging our support for some camelid assisted intervention, whether it is just being with the animals and allowing their calmness to "rub off", taking part in some of the educational activities or developing an individually adapted activity programme to suit your particular needs.
We will work alongside you to assess, support and tailor some provision for even the most difficult to reach children and adults.
