Children with developmental disabilities should be included in rehabilitation through an early intervention program from an early age. Rehabilitation of children with developmental disabilities is a long-term process in which experts, in cooperation with parents, propose and select procedures and methods that will be used by the child with developmental disabilities for his further progress. In the past few decades, it has been proven that therapy animals can achieve high levels of motivation when carrying out rehabilitation for children with developmental disabilities, so their presence in rehabilitation has significantly increased. It is the animals that have shown a positive effect when working with people who have difficulties, and a special result was observed when working with children who have difficulties in development. The presence of an animal can have a positive effect on children, and this is confirmed through the practice in which animals participate in the rehabilitation of children with disabilities, where they are used for therapeutic purposes. There are numerous animals that can serve as helpers in rehabilitation with children, but horses and dogs can definitely be singled out from all the animals. These two animals have played an important role in people's lives since ancient times. Due to their gentle nature, dogs and horses also have their role as helpers in therapy. Rehabilitation of children with disabilities with the help of animals improves their quality of life, and certain therapeutic goals can be achieved with its help. The aim of this final paper is to analyze and present the possibilities and ways of rehabilitating children with developmental disabilities with the help of animals that enable them to achieve a better quality of life.
