The webinar will introduce new research on using dogs in ABA education and therapy contexts\, with specific emphasis on children with ASD. We will cover several studies which aimed to better understand when and how to use therapy dogs with children with ASD\, as well as identified the concerns and risks of doing so. Preliminary data will also be presented on a currently-run clinical trial of the integration of a therapy dog to ABA social skills group classes. Finally\, we will discuss the ethical concerns of using animals and highlight several studies that showed that the welfare of therapy dogs may be compromised in specific situations. At the completion of the webinar\, the audience will have a good understanding of what to consider when utilizing a therapy dog in their practice. \nLearning Objectives: \n\n\nDiscriminate between different kinds of animals used to benefit human populations.\nSelect evidence-based approaches for the use of therapy dogs given the target behavior of the client.\nIdentify risks and concerns for both children and dogs when using therapy dogs in ABA sessions.\n\n\nPresenter Bio: \nDr. Alexandra (Sasha) Protopopova\, MS\, PhD\, is an assistant professor in the Animal Welfare Program at the University of British Columbia.
