Hi Deborah and all-
Horse back riding can help almost anyone with anytype of disability. There
are a few instances it is not recomended and I forget what they are but all
of the ones that you mentioned I know can do the horse back riding because I
have seen and ridden with them.
I think you should look into theraputic riding. You can locate the cloeset
riding center to your home by going to the National Asscociation for
Handicaped Riders website at http://www.narha.org/
I just checked the site because I wanted to see if there was any place close
to Pocatello (the second bigest city in Idaho) were I am going to college in
the spring in were I could ride but the closeset looks to be at least an hour
and a half away with no bus service to the town and the closest one that I
could ride greyhound bus to the city it's in is 2-3 hours away in Idaho Falls
:( so I guess I won;t be doing any riding while at ISU. O well they have
lots of other adapted sports programs.
I also checked teh Roffing orginization and there are no Roffers in Pocatello
either, the closest is in Twin Falls wich is like 1 hour away from pocatello,
but Greyhound only goes from pocatello to Idaho Falls or to Bosie within the
state of Idaho so I guess Roffing is out too. :(
Yours,
Anee

developmental and/or Autisic spectrum disorders? And how about children
with low muscle tone and Sensory Integration issues ? If so will medicaid
pay for any of this therapy? Sorry for the questions, just interested.
