[QUOTE="totoro, post: 146523, member: 3155"] Have you looked into Hippotherapy? It has been wonderful for both of my children... For N who is only 3, we call her our little Temple.. she had SO much Anxiety over animals, I know this is different, but she is not diagnosis'd Autistic at all... She is diagnosis'd sensory processing disorder (SPD). Who knows? Well she toe walks, self stims, very smart, hums, tongue thrusts, makes weird noises all day. Has huge sensory issues- noises, lick things, taste things, feels things all of that. Spins... She was SO scared of animals, we worked on it ourselves, because no-one new what to do... we had people with dogs come over, we caught bugs, (she screamed, she cried) we continued on. This led up to her going to her sisters Horse Therapy!!! just watching. This led up to us getting a dog. Something about that, clicked for her. She lays on the dog, humms to it, she holds her ear and does this weird thing with the fur... she kind of shakes when she lays on the dog and tongue thrusts... but the dog lets her. She has to hold the dogs ear. She smells the dog... This led up to her touching the horses... brushing, painting... then she got to ride bare back with me!!! She has never smile so hard or laughed so freely!!! She was in heaven... Now most of the riding is 4 and up, but because I have had horses and can ride they let us... now she gets to ride by herself with us on the sides once in awhile!!! I can't tell you what it does to her and for her... and for K and for all of the kids I watch- Cerebal Palsy, Seizures, Autism, Sensory etc. We are the only Mood Disorder... N was the only kid to be ably to touch Abby's ears... she just sat there and held one! Stroking it and rubbing it. It is so amazing to watch. In Tucson near were we are moving to, they have a Horse ranch were little kids can go with Issues, and just work with the horses. Not ride. I would recommend this Therapy to everyone. Our's is only 10$ a session after the initial training! We go once a week. Maybe you have already tried it? I am just grasping at straws here... I am sorry for your loss and I am thinking of you...
