Note: We are changing our name to Therapy Animals of Utah - Our mission and contact information remains the same. We are a proud affiliate of the internationally recognized Delta Society and not an affiliate of Intermountain Therapy Animals.
Team Screening/Evaluations For individuals who have completed the Delta Society Pet Partner Training, Therapy Animals of Utah will hold Delta Society Team Screening/Evaluations on one or two Saturdays (TBA) in early/mid September at Avalon Valley Rehab and Care Center (2472 S. 300 East) - screening/evaluations take approximately 30-45 minutes and are by appointment. Please call 801-280-1855 or email us info@TherapyAnimalsUtah.org
After the initial Delta Society training, you may forget a few of the details involved in actually visiting a facility and working with your animal.

Continuing education topics may include, but are not limited to, the following: Appropriate uniform and attire for you and your animal Animal-Assisted Therapy Appications for Healthcare and Social Service Professionals What to carry in your gear bag Animal calming signals How to properly groom your animal Dog and cat massage tips Bedside visiting in a facility How to properly approach clients in wheelchairs Working with special populations, such as the elderly and children Zoonosis |
