Through practical, real-life examples, Assessing Handlers for
Competence in Animal-Assisted Interventions provides guidance to
any person working with animals in any setting. Facilities that
have volunteers who work independently are in the greatest need of
competent handlers, yet many of those facilities accept handlers
with only proof of animal vaccinations. Other facilities accept an
evaluation of the animal-handler team without knowing whether that
evaluation relates to their facility or client dynamics. Both of
these problems easily can be remedied with basic guidance. Howie
brings more than thirty years of experience as an AAI provider,
coordinator, and mental health therapist to bear on the topic of
competence for animal handlers. In a friendly, easy-to-read style,
she clearly explains the need for competencies while identifying
broad categories currently in use. She then outlines training that
addresses those competencies based on individual facility and
client dynamics. She further describes one model for easily
integrating competency assessment into an interview and provides a
form for documenting the competency assessment. Additionally, Howie
addresses how to deal with problems that can arise in program
management. Anyone who reads this book will come away with the
knowledge and confidence to assess handlers' competence.
