Abstract
Područje istraživanja i uvođenja pasa pomagača u terapijske, obrazovne i druge procese s djecom i odraslima posljednjih se dvadesetak godina intenzivno razvija. Hrvatska udruga za školovanje pasa vodiča i mobilitet provodi program uključivanja pasa pomagača u obitelji djece s različitim razvojnim teškoćama. Kod djece s cerebralnom paralizom često su prisutne dodatne teškoće, npr.: osjeta, percepcije, kognicije, komunikacije i ponašanja, epilepsija i sekundarne mišićno koštane teškoće U
ovom radu opisujemo utjecaj uključivanja terapijskog psa na razvoj različitih razvojnih aspekata kod dvojice dječaka - blizanaca
s cerebralnom paralizom, kroz longitudinalno praćenje razvoja od 2008. – 2011. g tj. od predškolske do osnovnoškolske dobi.During the last 20 years research and implementation of programs with service dogs in education, therapies and other process experienced intensive development. Croatian Guide Dog and Mobility Association is implementing a program of including therapy dogs in families of children with disability. In children with cerebral palsy additional diffi culties are often present, such as problems with sense, perception, cognition, communication and behaviour, epilepsy, and secondary muscular skeletal problems.
