When my son started his treatment (hippotherapy/ horseback riding therapy) he couldn't talk a single word, nor understand anything...because of those things, he was always nervous, angry, and he could not sleep either -- shortly speaking, he had autism-like behaviors.
One month after Nick's hippotherapy started, he was already speaking a few words like "daddy", and " horse". After two months, he started to attend when called by his name! I was really amazed!
Now, after six months of doing hippotherapy and horseback riding therapy, Nick improved his social skills, his speach skills and vocabulary is improving week by week and his motor coordination is also much better!
Soon, I will post a video from his first day and a lattest one, so you can see his development!
Nick's treatment is provided from Walking Equoterapia, in Brazil -- the payment is done every month and this is possible thanks to our dear friends's help from U.S.A.
