[QUOTE="buddy, post: 485240, member: 12886"] yeah thanks IC, that pretty much sums it up... I thought the same thing.... he really loves dogs. He gets VERY nervous if they are big and jumpy or fast. They said these doggies are slow moving and calm and sweet to teh kids, but can handle loudness and rough housing since they are trained on kids with autism. I was pretty psyched. the lady who owns them called me. And the clinic I first went to, we are on hold for Occupational Therapist (OT) because there is such a long wait list...this place has openings for everything! They are much bigger. they do residential for people just coming out of the hospital for rehab. MY cousin went there when he was 19 after breaking his neck diving into a river drunk... he is 50 and paralyzed from the shoulders down and still doing well.... they said it would never happen. But he still loves courage center and says they were the best. They actually have their own horse back riding program, but when I called years ago it was only for physically impaired kids. they seemed shocked thinking it would work for autism. but times have changed and they use it for at risk kids, ptsd, etc...maybe they have different criteria now. Still, I love where we go so would be ok driving out there ...and my mom helps with that. I am excited to see how that might work. maybe put him in that calm state that he is in when he CAN talk to me about his feelings and what has happened during the day. And if he could follow directions to do with the dogs, wouldn't that be cool? [/QUOTE]
