| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
People with mental retardation may show the typical behaviors of autism. Lack of understanding of the peculiarities of these behaviors can cause “problem behaviors” with violence. Subsequent mishandling of those “problem behaviors” may lead to very serious and distressing situations. To investigate ways of preventing these situations from occurring, this study looked at animal assisted intervention for changes in spontaneous behavior, using dogs interacting with people with mental retardation.
The voluntarily people involved in the study were encouraged to develop a relationship with their dogs. As a result of being with the dog, the person could respond appropriately to stimulations and the problem behaviors decreased. In other words, interventions like this changed the behavior of the person and staff valued the new appropriate behavior. Consequently the “Quality of Life” of the person improved.
