Assessing Handlers for Competence in Animal-Assisted Interventions is a valuable resource for anyone working with animals in any setting. Facilities that have volunteers who work independently are particularly in need of competent handlers, yet many of these facilities accept handlers with only proof of animal vaccinations. Other facilities accept an evaluation of the animal-handler team without knowing whether it relates to their facility or client dynamics. Both of these problems can be easily remedied with basic guidance.
Howie, with over thirty years of experience as an AAI provider, coordinator, and mental health therapist, brings a wealth of expertise to the topic of competence for animal handlers. The book is written in a friendly and easy-to-read style, clearly explaining the need for competencies while identifying broad categories currently in use. Howie then outlines training that addresses these 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. The book is a must-read for anyone involved in animal-assisted interventions, as it provides valuable insights and practical guidance for ensuring the safety and well-being of both animals and handlers.
