Finding a Place To Fit In as an Autistic Person Through Equine Therapy
<p>My son is completely <strong>nonspeaking;</strong> this means that he’s never said a word and can’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 “normal” childhood, but it’s very tough on him to <strong>‘fit’ into</strong> these activities and for others around him as well.</p>
<p>He is also enrolled in a therapy program on campus, as well as <strong>therapies</strong> my wife helps him with at home. We do many of these things to <strong>help him progress in skills that come naturally to other children</strong>.</p>
