They should not be aggressive towards animals, peers, or staff and must be eligible for equine assisted activities but not solely for equine assisted therapy due to severe physical/medical issues.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how a collaborative occupational therapy program that includes interactive vaulting (horseback riding activities) affects the executive function and social skills of children with developmental disabilities.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is an occupational therapy involving horseback riding activities, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, falls leading to injuries, allergic reactions to animals, or psychological distress if there's fear of horses.
