Canine Inspired Change (CIC) is an organization that has worked with Valley View Elementary school for the past 5-years. Working with trained therapy dog teams, CIC's custom program helps kids break down barriers and learn the social and emotional skills they need to build connections, trust, confidence, and self-worth.
COVID may have put a wrench in our plans, yet CIC is still moving forward with virtual therapy dog programming!
Each virtual session will feature 2 or 3 therapy dog teams. Through the virtual sessions students will have an opportunity to share their feelings, learn calming techniques, and interact with the dogs virtually through basic dog training skills. Students have learned skills such as empathy and trust as well as gain self-confidence through CIC's social-emotional learning programs.
We love to partner with therapy dog teams to provide our students with a unique and educational experience. Please help us continue this amazing opportunity for our students.
