Equine Assisted Therapy

Occupational Therapy treatment sessions set within an equine environment to achieve functional outcomes.  Utilizing a natural environment that includes horses and related activities is highly motivating and meaningful to many children and adults.  This setting incorporates one of the primary philosophies behind Occupational Therapy — utilizing a meaningful activity to achieve functional outcomes.

 

Equine Assisted Therapy is defined by the American Hippotherapy Association, Inc. as:

· “A goal directed intervention in which a specially trained equine is an integral part of the treatment process.”

· “Directed by a health service professional with specific expertise and within the scope of their practice.”
