I would like to read a follow up on this story if they take her to the US. Near us is a therapy center that uses animals. It is quite remarkable how people with special needs (or anyone ) responds to animals.

This is just amazing, but doesn't surprise me. Animals are comforting and don't judge.

It's a lot easier to talk with animals. They don't belittle you and they are great listeners. It's so good to hear they have found something to help this little girl. Hopefully she will benefit from all the talking with the animals.

I think if I were the parents, I would be rushing out to get this girl a farm to live on (assuming I could afford it, of course).

Wonderful relief for these parents to get their child to communicate at all! Animals are so non-threatening.

Unbelievable what animals can do when you think there is no hope. I have a feeling that when she grows up, she will end up doing something with animals.

Nice story and smart parents. Observing little four-year-old Rose's interaction with the cows and recognizing a break-through they have found hope in animal-related therapy alternatives. Poor baby will probably never be whole in the traditional sense but at least there is hope.

I wonder if they might be better off in having one therapy animal all the time, rather than switching off.

Very cool. A very curious disorder, autism and seems to be drastically on the rise.

I have read other stories about autism and animal therapy...on this site another one about horse therapy and an autistic girl. The wonders of animals. Just shows us how they deserve to be treated well.

This little girl needs lots of sensory integration activities to help her develop. The connection with animals says a lot for her potential. I hope her parents seek every
possible avenue to get the help they need for their sweet little girl.

I think this is very possible. It is a fact that patients in nursing homes will open up to animals when they won't communicate with anyone else, even family members.

Therapy with animals is so successful! A shame there is none available in her own country, glad the U.S. can provide it for her. Excellent!
