ACTHA'S Featured Charity
Horse Boy Foundation
Horses Help Autistic Children to Communicate
The
Horse Boy Method, autism specific therapeutic techniques, using horses
to address sensory issues and promote direct communication. Rupert
Isaacson, author of the international bestseller ‘The Horse Boy’ and
producer of the highly acclaimed movie of the same title, has now made
available the techniques that helped his son Rowan to speak and
communicate directly with the exterior world. The techniques honed over
seven years can be learned by anyone with a horse back ground. The
techniques include how to ride with the child at walk, trot and canter
in a way that promotes direct communication; sensory work; academics on
horseback; trick work (again fantastic for communication); teaching
through play; creating the best equine environment for autistic children
and the use of collected movements, and long lining.
Rupert Isaacson and his team have been giving two day trainings and one day demos all over North America and Europe during this past year. We are now working closely with Riding for the Disabled (RDA) in the UK and the team is doing an increasing number of trainings at NAHRA and CANTRA affiliated centers in North America.
Rupert Isaacson and his team also offer two days trainings at the New Trails Center in Elgin, near Austin Texas, where the original Horse Boy story began, using Betsy, the horse that famously taught Isaacson’s three year old son Rowan to speak, as well as other horses fully trained in Horse Boy Method.
To come to Texas for a training or to book a training or demo at your barn, please contact Iliane Lorenz at info@horseboyworld.com
