LITTLE BIT'S STAFF WAS ASSISTED BY 871 VOLUNTEERS.PHYSICAL, OCCUPATIONAL, AND SPEECH THERAPY UTILIZING EQUINE MOVEMENT ARE OFFERED AT LITTLE BIT. LICENSED THERAPISTS UTILIZE A HORSE AS A TREATMENT TOOL, INCORPORATED INTO THE PATIENT'S PLAN OF CARE, TO REACH FUNCTIONAL GOALS. IN 2022, THERE WERE 2,547 TREATMENT SESSIONS AND 99 EVALUATIONS. ADAPTIVE RIDING FOCUSES ON INCREASING INDIVIDUAL RIDING SKILLS WHILE GAINING THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS. LESSONS ARE TAUGHT BY ONE OF OUR INSTRUCTORS CERTIFIED BY THE PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION OF THERAPEUTIC HORSEMANSHIP INTERNATIONAL (PATH). PARTICIPANTS SHOW IMPROVED INDEPENDENCE, SELF-ESTEEM, CONCENTRATION, VERBAL FLUENCY AND REDUCED ANXIETY. IN 2022, THERE WERE 5,395 ADAPTIVE RIDING LESSONS EQUINE-FACILITATED PSYCHOTHERAPY (EFP) AND EQUINE-ASSISTED LEARNING (EAL) INVOLVE LITTLE BIT PARTNERING WITH LOCAL MENTAL HEALTH THERAPISTS (EFP) AND EDUCATORS (EAL) TO PROVIDE SERVICES AT OUR FACILITY. THERAPISTS AND EDUCATORS WORK HAND IN HAND WITH LITTLE BIT STAFF WHO HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED BY PATH AS EQUINE SPECIALISTS. HORSES ARE UNIQUELY SUITED TO THIS KIND OF THERAPY BECAUSE THEY ARE INTUITIVE AND WILL REACT TO BEHAVIOR PATTERNS AND CUES THAT PEOPLE MIGHT MISS, ALLOWING THE THERAPIST OR EDUCATOR TO INTERACT ON A DEEPER LEVEL WITH THEIR PATIENT OR STUDENT AND ADDRESS ISSUES THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GO UNNOTICED. IN 2022, EFP SERVICES WERE PROVIDED TO SEVEN CHILDREN AND ADULTS, AND 142 INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS OF EAL WERE PROVIDED. 12286 19400 LITTLE BIT HOSTS WORKSHOPS/CERTIFICATIONS FOR PATH AND AMERICAN HIPPOTHERAPY ASSOCIATION (AHA).
