Asinotherapy has its origins in the 70s in France.

It is practiced in several European countries.

The therapy is based on the whole person, with the donkey as a therapeutic element.

The concrete content of the donkey therapy is based on a number of activities with the donkey.

Asinotherapy includes aspects of and promotes development within the cognitive, the sensorimotor, the emotional, the linguistic and the social.

At Djurslandskolen, I have had the opportunity to do a project work that combines theory and practice in working with children and donkeys in a professional didactic course, where the children's well-being, development, learning and acting skills are supported and promoted with the help of the donkey's positive effect on people.
