Is there animal assisted therapy for adhd?

Not formally...: ...But being responsible for a dog or a horse is good training in planning ahead for a child with adhd. They also teach a lot about empathy and social interaction - skills in which these children may be deficient.

Yes,but......: There are also many risks, and immature, impulsive child could also be at risk of been hurt by an animal that misinterprets the child's intention or gets spooked.There are manty other time tested, more coventional and potentially less expensive therapies that have shown better results...Medication, behavioral intervention, neurofeedback to name a few.However caring for an animal has its rewards.
