Description
Hello and welcome to by Udemy Course on Equine Assisted OT within a Horse Environment (hippotherapy)!
In this course you will learn about the implementation of hippotherapy (a therapy tool) utilized in combination with traditional therapy tools by Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists and Speech Language Pathologists. My hope for this course is to provide an introduction into this niche area of practice for the professions of OT, PT and SLP. Hippotherapy is under utilized by these 3 professions and it is my goal to advocate for the benefits this therapy tool has to offer by increasing the overall engagement and interest in this field!

The attached resources are downloadable for convenience and to further support your learning. At the end of these presentation, you will be able to find APA citations for all of the research utilized to help make this Udemy course possible.
