| 2025 | Cole's Horse Autism Therapy Station (chats) Yorktown, VA | A | $29,800 | paid | CHATS offers the Horse Boy (therapeutic approach) and Movement Method (academic approach) program, a neuroscience-based equine assisted intervention, for people with autism and other neuro-diversities that achieves social, behavioral, and academic goals through kinetic learning and repatterning the brain and calming the nervous system through nature, movement, and the help of an equine partner. CHATS equine therapy involves specific movements on horseback which activate the learning receptors of the brain and create physical, mental, and emotional states that allow the release of oxytocin which serves to relax, calm, and reduce interfering behaviors. This can lead to fewer behavioral meltdowns and increased engagement in learning activities, social interaction, and communication. The proposed projects include training a new horse and offers therapy play dates to autistic children with families that do not have the financial means to provide this alternative to traditional therapy. | 202513009349300106 |
