Horse Therapy For Sensory Processing Disorder

What is Sensory Processing Disorder?

Children with Sensory Processing Disorder can be oversensitive to sights, sounds, textures, flavors, smells and other sensory input. This can make a trip to a toy store or trying a new dish at a restaurant an overwhelming experience for them. Other children with sensory processing issues are undersensitive to information they receive through the senses. This can lead to other problems.

Sensory processing issues can impact a child’s social skills. It can also cause difficulties in the classroom. Learning more about sensory processing issues and possible treatments is a good first step in getting help for your child.

Horse Therapy For Sensory Processing Disorder

Hippotherapy can be used to address sensory processing issues. It provides input to the vestibular, proprioceptive, tactile, visual and auditory systems.

The occupational therapist can incorporate the movement of the horse to modulate the sensory system in preparation for a therapy or treatment goal that will lead to a functional activity.

The results can be seen from the appropriate adaptive responses from the child and often influence emotional, social, behavioral and communication outcomes.
