One commonly documented strength among individuals with FASDs is that they tend to work well with animals. Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) is delivered by a professional service provider, such as a recreation therapist, and is designed to promote improvements in physical, emotional, social, or cognitive functioning. Animals used in AAT can include cats, rabbits, birds, fish, and perhaps most commonly, horses and dogs.
