August 27, 2010 – N.E.A.T. – Nevada Equine Assisted Therapy announces, that in partnership with Sierra Autism Care Center, they will be hosting an Open House for individuals impacted by Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and related conditions. This FREE event will take place on September 15th from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m.
Parents and care givers are encouraged to bring their children, teens and adults out to the N.E.A.T. ranch to experience the magic of horses! For reasons that may forever remain unknown, the horse holds a special captivation and power that none of us ever out-grows. Individuals will see a live demonstration with the horses, and learn more about how horses can make a difference in the lives of those impacted by ASD and related conditions.
N.E.A.T. and Sierra Autism Care Center have come together to provide this unique equine intervention to individuals in the Reno – Sparks community. Opportunities will include both group sessions and individual sessions with horses.
