Finding a Place To Fit In as an Autistic Person Through Equine Therapy

<p>My son is completely&nbsp;<strong>nonspeaking;</strong>&nbsp;this means that he&rsquo;s never said a word and can&rsquo;t express himself through words. My wife and I have tried everything from play dates to Karate and even private horse lessons in order to give him a somewhat &ldquo;normal&rdquo; childhood, but it&rsquo;s very tough on him to&nbsp;<strong>&lsquo;fit&rsquo; into</strong>&nbsp;these activities and for others around him as well.</p> <p>He is also enrolled in a therapy program on campus, as well as&nbsp;<strong>therapies</strong>&nbsp;my wife helps him with at home. We do many of these things to&nbsp;<strong>help him progress in skills that come naturally to other children</strong>.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/the-unexpected-autistic-life/finding-a-place-to-fit-in-equine-therapy-2bc6c7c796da"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
