Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the ATL online conference! Thanks so much for securing the international keynote speakers, all who are so experienced and the “international” experts in their field. I was so excited and inspired!
Thank you! I have enjoyed all the sessions so far. Being both a disabled person with an assistance animal and a Speech Pathologist working with therapy animals with my clients, this conference is so useful, both personally, and as Professional Development.
I support the amazing work of Animal Therapies Ltd which has contributed to significant change in people’s lives.
I have only just been able to dip my toe into the online recorded conference sessions today but am loving the content, thank you so much for facilitating such an awesome opportunity for those of us interested in learning more about animal therapy. I‘m looking forward to catching up on all presentations on demand! Love the work you’re all doing, excited to be a part of it!
To Animal Therapies Ltd. Thank you so much for all the amazing work you do !!!!!!
Animal Therapies Ltd is not just funding therapy, they are funding access to reclaiming lives through accessible therapeutic intervention which offers hope, lifelines and futures.
Your funding has helped my client make amazing connections with both of my canine co therapists Belle and Bhalu. It is these types of connections that can do so much to assist with the healing of trauma.
To the awesome ATL team. Thanks again for a wonderful conference. The programming, platform, venue, food, networking opportunities – all were excellent. I can only begin to imagine the hours and hours AND hours of work that went into designing, preparing and orchestrating this Very Special Event!
The online conference sessions I watched were seriously good and packed full of very useful information thank you. And I will definitely attend future conference events.
