[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 709032, member: 18958"] There are equine therapy places all over. They are certified and specially trained. They work with ill kids and adults, behaviorally challenged kids and mentally ill children and adults. The medium of therapy is the relationship with the horse. The swimming is a great idea, I think. If it is the right teacher. With one young man, my son flourished. With somebody else, high strung, critical and reserved with affection, not so much. I am wondering about martial arts, too, with the right person. Like Capoiera, (which is gentle) private lessons. There is music and movement, and a belief/cultural system. My son took off like a rocket with Brasilian Martial Arts. He left it 10 years ago but is now going back (I hope.) What about a therapy service dog? They are trained for autistic children and adults. As a companion, somebody to communicate with, and to be responsible to and for. The more he has built in, supports, diversions, outlets, activities, the more pressure is taken off of you. The more you see he can and will do, the more permission you will give to yourself to survive and thrive. [/QUOTE]
