Canistherapy for Autism

An autistic child has a disrupted emotional connection with the outside world and people; they prefer non-verbal connections, and that’s why it is so difficult to instill in them sociability and awaken the emotional component of family and friendly relationships. Treating autism with dogs (canistherapy) can help a child become more socially active. Dogs perceive people as they are; these animals are impartial and do not evaluate us by appearance or psychological characteristics.

Canistherapy for autism is useful because it reduces a child’s feelings of restlessness, anxiety, and fear and eliminates psychological tension. A sedentary child becomes more active. An autistic person also develops a sense of security — there is no negativity or frightening duplicity in dogs.

Canistherapy for autistic children is the optimal correction method because:

1. Non-verbal communication with a four-legged friend develops sensory and emotional spheres and minimises negativity and stress.
2. Treatment of autism with dogs instills trust because these animals are incorruptible; they sincerely enjoy interacting with their owner without being ordered.
3. These animals have positive energy and transmit it to their owners during communication, play, and training. Even highly self-absorbed autists respond positively to this.
4. Dogs provide emotional support, as though tuning into their friend’s ‘wave’.
5. The results of communication with a dog are an excellent basis for the further development of an individual.

A dog friend can be considered a guide to an independent adult life. When a child finds a common language with their four-legged friend, cares for, trains, takes responsibility, and plays a certain social role, treatment of autism with the help of canistherapy has a positive effect on the patient’s socialisation.

At a primitive level, a dog helps the autistic child understand their responsibilities and rights and form an idea of themselves as an individual. The process of training an animal develops leadership qualities and teaches them to be an understanding and caring leader.

Results of using canistherapy for children with ASD:

• The psychological state of autists improves, and the brain relaxes from critical thinking and stress.
• The child feels the pet needs them, so they are no longer alone, and this feeling suppresses despair and fear.
• The beloved pet creates a desire for communication; this is excellent progress towards a socially active future.
• Communication with the dog develops motivation and inspiration.
• Canistherapy also develops attentiveness and patience.
