海报摘要

Equine assisted interventions helps autistic children to exchange and to progress in communication. Indeed, it stimulates functions involved in interactions with others, communication development (joint attention, association, imitation, intention, perception) and develops systems interfering in social adaptation, regulation, and information processing. Horse will lead child to experiment co-action and reciprocity, promoting interactive behavior and exchanges with language. Horse movements, through multisensorial stimulation, activate sensory-integrative functions and encourage vocal productions. Many international scientific studies about quantitative evaluation of results in equine mediation empower to validate this approach.
