Monday, November 18, 2019
Havana.- Cuba's healthcare system has used horse therapy to treat various ailments in children and adolescents with special educational needs for 15 years.
According to experts, this procedure takes advantage of the horses' movements to stimulate those riding them.
This action is complemented by the work of a multisectoral team of psycho-pedagogues, speech therapists, physiotherapists, health technicians and podiatrists.
The method is usually applied to patients with cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, Asperger's and Down syndromes, deaf-blind people, intellectual disability, and affective and communication disorders, among other pathologies.
