Capuchin monkeys are fast learners. That makes them special service animals. Capuchin service monkeys are also different from other primates, as they're not aggressive. In addition, these monkey helpers are very friendly and eager. So in addition to being fast learners, capuchin monkeys make excellent companions for disabled people. Helping Hands: Monkey Helpers is on a mission to provide innovative technologies and quality-of-life opportunities to those living with physical disabilities. Helping Hands: Monkey Helpers raises and trains capuchin monkeys to assist people living with spinal cord injuries or other mobility impairments.
