[QUOTE="Jena, post: 149197, member: 4514"] hi how is everyone?? yup haven't been here in a while. so i am taking a training class at a local ranch that deals with therapy with horses for special needs kids. i love horses and i used to teach special needs and i wanted to give back on some level and have always wanted to do this. i wanted to share it with all of you. not sure if your states have these programs available at all. what i saw there blew me away. the woman who started it began her journey in 1993 and just 3 years ago finally bought her own ranch and is blowing this entire concept out of the water literally. she works with the ieps from schools, and the plan at home. she works with various ranges of diff handicaps or emotional issues. ranging from anxiety disorder manic depressive, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) asperger's blind, physical handicaps, amazing stuff. i saw the numbers the tracking she has done over the years. a huge percentage of kids with whom were medicated when she began working with them and were not doing well overall at home, school, socially are thriving, others have made huge improvements and are now off the medications. i've never seen anything quite like it. there are many diff types of therapy concerning the horses i'm just learning about it all and reading the books on it. i wanted to tell everyone because i am thinking of getting difficult child involved i can't afford it but there are grants available as well. the link to her website just so you can read if anyone is interested is [url]http://www.pal-o-mine.org/history_mission.php[/url] Jen :) [/QUOTE]
