Latham Centers’ therapeutic donkey program (also known as Asinotherapy) is a unique part of our vocational 和 therapeutic programming. Our students 和 individuals regularly care for 和 interact with our six therapy donkeys under the guidance 和 supervision of Latham’s Donkey Trainer, 克里斯汤普森.

Many of you will remember our unique 和 fabulous Donkey Wedding held in May 2019, when two of our beloved therapy donkeys, 以斯帖和以扫, 结了婚. It’s hard to believe that they will celebrate their 5 YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY this spring!  In honor of this milestone, we wanted to let you know about an exciting new event happening in May, the Latham Centers’ 《博天堂官方入口》!
