ChildVision Equine Assisted Therapy Programmes are world-class, enabling over 150 interventions with children per week using the horse as an unparalleled therapeutic medium.
The programmes, also open to children from neurodiverse backgrounds and disability services outside of ChildVision, use the power of Equine-Assisted Therapy to work not just on movement therapy, verbal communication and moving from dysregulation to regulation; but also to improve their skills in maths, literacy, biology and ecology – subjects that are rendered impossible in a traditional classroom for students with multiple and complex additional needs.
Growth has been achieved by our team with true grit, delivered with a limited budget, in less than ideal facilities. Our waiting list is consistently full, with demand for assessments stretching to two years. We need the Centre to meet demand.
Partner with us in delivering the National Equine Assisted Therapy Centre. ChildVision has already committed almost 25% of the funds (€500,000) to this development and our focus now is on raising the remaining funds from individuals, companies and philanthropic partners.
