Animal Therapy

Although our students have been enjoying animal therapy for some time, it continues to amaze and excite them! Recently, our friend Avi Kipnis came to Beit Metzudot and brought… a lizard, which entranced the students for a full hour.

The students, who had no preconceived negative notions about lizards, attempted to befriend the creature, participating in a number of lizard-related activities with a tremendous amount of focus.

The staff of Beit Metzudot noted the importance of providing a wide range of different activities, as each child is affected by something else. For example, one of the children is particularly motivated by the activities with the animals – to his delight, as well as that of the staff.
