- Abstract
Many individuals with ID/DD have challenging behaviors (CB) which may cause household conflict (Bowring et al., 2019; McGill et al., 2018). Scorzato et al. conducted a pilot study and found animal-assisted therapy (AAT) had a significant effect on basic social skills, communication, cooperation, and participation, specifically in group settings, for individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (Scorzato et al., 2017). A six-session Canine-Assisted Team Building Program was designed and implemented to increase Core Members’ team skills to reduce household conflict by focusing on problem-solving, decision-making, communication, participation, and collaboration. Program outcomes were determined through Core Member reports on the pre/post-test assessment, the Team-Effectiveness Scale, and the Animal-Based Program Feedback Survey. Using narrative analysis, outcomes indicated an improvement in team-building skills and knowledge in all areas and participants reported positive feedback regarding therapy dog incorporation. These outcomes show that canine-assisted group sessions focused on team-building can improve individuals' knowledge of conflict resolution skills. According to the CASS Housing staff and Core Members, the therapy dog in-training motivated individuals to attend and participate in classes as well as work together as a team.
