College: It isn’t just for humans anymore.
Welcome to the world of Helping Hands and their Monkey College in Boston, MA. Founded in 1979, Helping Hands is a nonprofit “that places specially trained capuchin monkeys with people who are paralyzed, or who suffer other severe mobility impairments.”
When I first found out about Helping Hands a couple of weeks ago, I was intrigued with the idea of using monkeys as assistance animals and had lots of questions. I interviewed Skott Wade, a Helping Hands employee, about the world of the Monkey Helpers.
