This is a pilot study testing equine-assisted therapy—working with horses—to see if it can improve quality of life for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their parents. The study will measure changes in how children and families feel about their daily lives, as well as improvements in communication, movement skills, and social connections.
Many children with autism struggle with social interaction, movement coordination, and emotional wellbeing. This research explores whether the bond and interaction with horses might offer a meaningful, supportive way to help these children grow and feel better about their lives.
