Abstract

A few years ago, Animal Assisted Activities (AAA) and Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) have begun to be part of interventions in occupational therapy, a practice that can surely enrich the theory and subsequent interventions. In the present essay, the author share from the Model of Human Occupation, part of the experience she had in including animals as a tool of health intervention. This paper begins with a brief description of concepts, history and considerations regarding therapy sessions involving animals as part of therapeutic intervention, continuing with the basic concepts of the Model of Human Occupation, and then explaining through a practical example how the Animal Assisted Therapy can influence volitional processes, habituation, performance capacity and occupational participation of people, finally concluding that the importance of volitional experience is vital in this type of intervention.
