The Horse Boy Method
“Start where the child is, not where you want him to be.” Rupert Isaacson.
Working with children on the autism spectrum (ASD), the Horse Boy Method© acknowledges and honours the child by allowing them to find their own starting point. Working with activities in conjunction with horses, as well as indoor and outdoor games and the child’s own interests, the facilitators move through a series of activities and transitions that are designed to encourage joyful engagement, communication, and fun.
Focus will be on working with the goals of the family to help ASD children, youth and families to achieve their highest potentials. Certified Horse Boy Method facilitators will tailor each program to meet the needs and goals of the specific families and groups with which we are working.
Providing a positive and supportive environment, families will experience games, activities and “horse play” geared to enhance joyful engagement and communication – and to learn horse skills and academics along the way. The Horse Boy Method© is based on the work of author, filmmaker and parent, Rupert Isaacson.
