Video Sessions

Based on Dr. Jeffrey Younggren’s Assessment Model, clinicians will typically:

• Conduct a thorough assessment of the individual requesting an Emotional Support Animal certification in order to establish a disability and disability-related need.
• Evaluation of malingering.
• Consider if the animal in question is capable of performing the functions of an Emotional Support Animal.
• Assess the interaction of the client with the animal to determine whether the animal’s presence has a demonstrably beneficial effect on the patient.
