【SEN動物輔助小組】
經過第一堂的熟悉之後,小朋友們對社工犬漸漸適應,這堂課終於要正式開始啦✨ 一開始,我們先跟家長介紹「動物輔助服務」的概念,讓他們了解狗狗可以怎樣幫助SEN孩子在學習上獲得支援,以及如何進行針對性的訓練。
社工犬Star先陪小朋友在校園裡散步,當作熱身活動,接著我們進行了指令遊戲——小朋友要用手勢和身體動作跟狗狗配合,一起完成指定動作。這個過程可以鍛鍊他們的小肌肉控制和身體協調能力,每個小朋友都表現得好好,甚至有孩子主動舉手想要嘗試!
最讓我們感動的是,上一堂因為太緊張、不敢進課室、只能在外面觀察的那位同學,這次也鼓起勇氣跟Star互動,順利完成了任務🎉
課堂結束後還有一個小驚喜:我們準備離開學校時,路過體育館,突然被上一季的家長叫住,原來是正在練習滾軸溜冰的小妹妹看見我們,迫不及待踩著輪鞋就滑過來打招呼,還主動向我們拿用來餵狗狗的匙羹。
回想當初,她雖然喜歡狗狗,卻因為害怕而常常尖叫,也不太願意與人互動;如今她不但能主動過來打招呼,雖然還未開口說話,但已經懂得用眼神和肢體語言跟我們交流。看到這樣的轉變,真的好感動——這就是我們做這份服務最大的動力💛

【SEN Animal-Assisted Support Group】
After a successful ice-breaking session last week, the children have grown comfortable with our Social Work Canine, and the formal program is now officially underway! ✨ We began by briefing parents on the core concepts of "Animal-Assisted Services," explaining how these sessions provide targeted learning support and specialized training for children with SEN.
Our Social Work Canine, Star, kicked things off by joining the children for a warm-up stroll around the campus. This was followed by a series of command games where the children used hand gestures and body movements to lead Star through various tasks. These exercises are specifically designed to improve fine motor control and physical coordination. The enthusiasm was high—many children were even raising their hands to volunteer!
The most moving moment, however, was seeing a student who was previously so anxious they couldn't even enter the classroom. This time, they found the courage to step inside, interact with Star, and successfully complete the mission! 💪🏻
As we were leaving, we experienced a wonderful "full-circle" moment. A former student from last season, who was practicing roller skating in the gym, spotted us and glided right over to say hello! She even reached out for the feeding spoon to give Star a treat. Thinking back to when she first started, she used to scream out of fear and avoided social contact entirely. Now, although she is still finding her voice, she communicates beautifully through eye contact and body language. Seeing such a profound transformation is exactly what fuels our passion for this service. 💛
