Have you met Spike?

Spike is a tortoise who was a rescue, and now lives at the Imua Discovery Garden. He is a therapy animal that helps Maui’s kids! 🐢💚

Therapy animals reduce stress and anxiety. They can help children who have a hard time communicating, as it can be easier to speak when an animal is present. Another huge benefit of therapy animals is the way they can teach empathy— caring for an animal can help children learn to recognize and respond to another being’s needs and feelings.

Therapy animals: a surprising and very real action for kids!
