In partnership, Samuel Lee Tooney Sr. Foundation & LAF are providing an 8 week, 1 hour session to children with ASD and their families who are interested in equine therapy. With the funds requested, we will be able to provide 26 children with equine therapy.
Equine-Assisted Therapy (EAT), also referred to as horse therapy for autism, is a therapeutic approach that involves interactions between individuals with autism and horses. This therapy is facilitated by trained professionals who use horses as a catalyst for promoting emotional, physical, and cognitive growth. Equine-Assisted Therapy has been shown to have a positive impact on individuals with autism in various ways, including emotional and social development, sensory integration, and communication/language skills.
