Dr. Dooley invited to speak about Therapy Animals in school on popular education podcast
Absecon Schools Superintendent Dr. Daniel J. Dooley was honored to be a guest this week on the prestigious Get Inspired with Dr. Barb podcast with Dr. Barbara Vokatis, professor, therapy dog partner, author, and innovator in the area of animal-assisted intervention.
On this episode, Dr. Dooley spoke with Dr. Barb about Absecon’s therapy animal program, how it began and the wonderful successes that we have seen with our students both socially and academically.
“If this extraordinary superintendent, Dr. Daniel Dooley, can start a successful therapy dog program in his school district and show what it does for children, every superintendent and school leader in this country can and should do the same thing for children. What do you think? Please let us share this incredible testimony! Children deserve superintendents who think creatively!” Dr. Barb wrote.
Get Inspired with Dr. Barb is a weekly podcast that focuses on world-wide innovation in education, sharing stories about “educational innovation from educators who are innovating in their teaching to make a difference for children and from experts in other fields whose work substantially contributes to this innovation.”
