Building a future for Free Rein
Free Rein’s reputation for helping disabled children is growing stronger. What many folks don’t realize, though, is how much work the center is doing with adults, too. view article

Thanks! Actually, we've been thinking about this horseback riding type therapy. My mother was telling us about it in the last couple of weeks about a place close to where we live...we thought if anything, it would be fun for the kiddo...nice to know it works well for some...

You're so right about horseback riding. My autistic dauhter's summer program used to go for horseback rides but not only were the disabled people riding, the parents, teachers and care givers got to ride, too. Everyone had fun. It does wonders to autistic people to be in the same zone as everyone else when they're all having fun together.
