Therapy Dogs in School
Welcome to the Animal Assisted Education (AAEdu) website. AAEdu is a facilities-based therapy dog program at Maine School Administrative District 51.
The COVID-19 pandemic presents new and unexpected challenges to our programing. We have updated our policies to ensure the health and safety of our students, staff, and the therapy dog.
Enhance student engagement, facilitate social and emotional learning, and amplify a positive school climate.
