Abstract	Persons with disabilities show improvement with various kinds of interventions, which assist them with their understanding of the world. Some interventions show a wide range of changes in individuals’ psycho-motor domain, cognitive domain, social skills, communication skills, and cognitive skills. Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) integrates animals as a mean of providing therapy to persons with disabilities, and has shown significant improvements in the aforementioned domains. This paper aims to check the impact of animal assisted therapy on various domains such as psycho-motor domain, cognitive domain, social skills, communication skills and cognitive skills. The results show a significant positive correlation between various domains where Animal Assisted Therapy was kept as a moderator.
