Family Intervention,

This review is from: Special Needs, Special Horses: A Guide to the Benefits of Therapeutic Riding (Practical Guide) (Paperback)
This book I strongly recommend for families who wish to do more for their students outside of the school setting. As a public school counselor working with students with special needs, I see this book as a down to earth guide to assist families who would like to do more for their student outside of the school setting. As we discuss the progress of their special need student in school, when appropriate, I have suggested looking into Therapeutic Riding.
After reading this book, as an almost "Therapeutic Riding for Dummies", I visited an actual center that was not too far from my home. While there I witnessed an elementary aged student with special needs working with a trainer and the horse. It was great to see a transformation happen as the student's smile grew as well as the parents. This book helped me to understand the process and the goals. This knowledge helps me as a more informed counselor to convey to other families seeking other assistance for their student outside of the school setting.

A Special book,

This review is from: Special Needs, Special Horses: A Guide to the Benefits of Therapeutic Riding (Practical Guide) (Paperback)
Although this book is written with a target audience of riders, parents and volunteers, as an occupational therapist new to the area of hippotherapy and horses in general, I found it a helpful and enjoyable read. Long time volunteer, Naomi Scott has done such a good job explaining what is involved in working at a therapeutic riding center that readers will be inspired to check out this special field.
