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 2024, EFP SERVICES WERE PROVIDED FOR 13 PARTICIPANTS IN 276 SESSIONS, AND 125 PARTICIPANTS TOOK PART IN 98 EAL SESSIONS.

THE THERAPIST USES THE MOVEMENT OF THE HORSE TO ADDRESS THE PATIENT'S CHALLENGES, SUCH AS DEFICITS IN BALANCE, STRENGTH, ENDURANCE, COORDINATION, COMMUNICATION, AND ATTENTION. THIS THERAPY DOES NOT TEACH RIDING SKILLS, RATHER THE GOALS ARE GEARED TOWARDS INDEPENDENCE FOR DAILY ACTIVITIES AND INCREASED PARTICIPATION IN FAMILY, SCHOOL, AND COMMUNITY LIFE.
