Animal Angels Foundation was founded in India by Rohini and Radhika Nair who discovered the intervention benefits of animal-assisted therapy. Rohini, a clinical psychologist, also became an assisted animal therapist after studying with the Delta Society. She has documented all the children with autism and others with developmental disabilities who have come through her foundation. She has found that animals, especially service dogs, provide a means for children to learn responsibility, verbal skills, improved cognition, and social skills.
