Abstract

Introduction Animal-Assisted Therapy has been advocated to benefit individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders . Among all the various kinds of animals used in the therapy, dogs are the most utilized because of their temperament and accessibility. Methods This systematic scoping review was carried out to present the existing literature employing canine-assisted therapy in the diverse population of neurodevelopmental disorders . The study used the Arksey and O'Malley framework for scoping reviews. Several databases including the gray literature were searched for publications on animal-assisted therapy. Results The search yielded 4898 articles of which 41 articles were eliigible for inclusion into the review. Conclusions Scrutiny of the articles suggested a dearth of studies in the various sub-diagnostic categoriesfor neurodevelopmental disorders along with a lack of focus on adult populations with this diagnosis. In addition, the critical need for standardization of therapy guidelines and promotion of animal welfare is reaffirmed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
