About Michelle Mamaradlo:

Michelle bred and raised the Party Pups while writing her Thesis in graduate school on animal assistance therapy dogs to community populations. 

Michelle's Cocker Spaniels initiated the first programs in Staten Island's Elderly Community Centers, After School Programs focusing on Violent and Aggressive Children, and Autistic and learning disabled children in the Staten Island Community. 

Michelle is currently employed as a Bilingual School Social Worker, is a Related Services Provider for the Municipality and specializes in one to one Animal Assisted Therapy with specialized populations such as autistic children, children diagnosed with ADHD, PDD and Asperger Syndrome. 

These services can be provided for your child in the privacy of your home.

"Under the guidance of an experienced and skilled clinician such as myself, measurable goals can be achieved with your child through utilizing the therapeutic dogs to encourage socially appropriate behavior, engaging your child so that language skills are enhanced and social skills and peer relationships are improved.  You will see the positive results in your child within a few sessions!"

"Each of the dogs has been trained to address different needs of children.  For example, Pebbles specializes in children with low self esteem and Oreo specializes in autistic children who may have difficulty relating to a world outside of themselves."

" Individualized Plans for every child are created by myself with goals and activities for each session with the therapeutic dogs. Depending on your child's needs, activities may address basic skills such as acknowledgement of the surrounding environment, remaining on task, or addressing their fears, shyness, hyperactivity, lack of confidence, or obssessive/complulsive disorders. 

"Interactive activities with the therapeutic dogs tailored to your child's needs will captivate your child's interest regardless of their current functioning level and capabilities.   Please contact me for more information regarding my services so that we can help your child to become the best that they can be!"
