What Will You Learn?

  • Core Therapeutic Values and Principles
    The course begins with core Occupational Therapy (OT) values adapted to EAT, emphasizing client-centered, holistic care. Participants will explore how these principles support skill development, adaptability, and meaningful therapeutic connections with clients.
  • Skill Development Across Life Stages
    Delve into the developmental milestones for children and practical strategies for adults. EAT is shown to be highly effective in advancing motor skills, sensory processing, emotional regulation, and social skills. By engaging with the horse in both groundwork and mounted activities, participants learn methods to foster core stability, coordination, and functional skills in clients of all ages.
  • Sensory Processing in EAT
    Sensory processing forms the foundation of effective therapy in EAT. This module explores the role of the equine environment in sensory integration, emphasizing how the horse’s movement and sensory feedback can help regulate arousal and support sensory-sensitive clients.
  • Case Studies and Real-World Applications
    Real-life case studies—including clients with Cri du Chat syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorder—illustrate practical therapeutic applications. These case examples offer insights into tailoring EAT interventions for various needs and goals, demonstrating the transformative impact EAT can have.
  • EAOT Session Structure
    Participants learn how to structure sessions effectively to address multiple therapeutic goals simultaneously. Through mounted activities and groundwork, the course offers strategies to design flexible, client-centered sessions that promote growth in physical, emotional, and social domains.
  • Groundwork and Equine Environment Benefits
    Discover the profound therapeutic value of groundwork—activities such as grooming, leading, and stable management—that strengthens motor and social skills. Participants gain insight into creating safe, empowering sessions that leverage the unique environment and dynamics of EAT.
