CFPTA early interventionists are trained in behavior modification and sign language.
Hippotherapy: The word “hippotherapy” comes from the Greek “hippos” meaning horse and “therapy” meaning care. Thus, hippotherapy is the utilization of the horse for therapeutic purposes rather than equestrian goals. Hippotherapy is a rehabilitation strategy using a mobile and live instrument called “horse”. The horse possesses motor and emotional, neuro-sensitive stimulation qualities never equaled by any other method. The horse offers 110 multidimensional movements by impulsion every minute. In hippotherapy, the rider does not influence the horse but rather the movement of the horse stimulates postural and muscular reactions on the rider. The rider will take different positions on the horse to stimulate affected group muscles. Intrinsically, riding a horse is a beneficial activity for any person challenged with a physical, cognitive, speech-language and/or emotional disability. The unique attributes of hippotherapy lies in the gait of the therapy horse. The horse having gaits with a three dimensional swinging motion (as does the human body) is a living therapy tool for the rider, enabling the rider to experience up/down, forward/backward, and side-to-side motion.
