Thirty-three studies including children and adolescents with autism, 3 of which confirmed diagnoses, were reviewed. Five types of equine-assisted activities were identified across 25 studies, with reported improvements in behavior, social interaction, and communication. Four types of equine-assisted therapies were identified across 8 studies, with reported improvements in motor control and self-care. Different approaches to therapeutic riding and hippotherapy, the most studied interventions, were evident. While this literature reflected early scientific development, it offered broad proof of concept that equine-assisted interventions can benefit children and adolescents with autism. Promising outcomes support continued investigation focused on standardization, appropriateness, and efficacy.

Preliminary Efficacy of Occupational Therapy in an Equine Environment for Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder / B. Caitlin PETERS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-9 (September 2022)

Twenty-four youth with ASD aged 6-13 were randomized to 10 weeks of OT(ee) HORSPLAY or to a waitlist control condition, occupational therapy in a garden. Youth demonstrated significantly improved goal attainment and social motivation, and decreased irritability after OT(ee) HORSPLAY. When compared to the subset of participants who completed the waitlist control condition, the OT(ee) HORSPLAY group still demonstrated significant improvements in goal attainment. This study provides preliminary evidence that horses can be integrated into occupational therapy for youth with ASD to improve social and behavioral goals.

The Feasibility and Acceptability of Occupational Therapy in an Equine Environment for Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder / B. Caitlin PETERS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 80 (February 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 80 (February 2021) . - p.101695 Titre : The Feasibility and Acceptability of Occupational Therapy in an Equine Environment for Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : B. Caitlin PETERS, Auteur ; Wendy WOOD, Auteur ; Susan HEPBURN, Auteur ; Tamara MERRITT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101695 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Feasibility  Acceptability  Equine-assisted therapy  Hippotherapy  Equine-assisted services  Occupational therapy Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Equine-assisted services are promising, yet supporting research is limited. This Phase 2 study sought to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the newly manualized intervention and assessment protocol for occupational therapy in an equine environment for youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Method A multi-site randomized controlled design was implemented. Twenty-four youth with ASD, age 6–13, were randomized to receive occupational therapy in an equine environment or in a garden environment. Feasibility indicators included rates of recruitment, treatment delivery, attendance, attrition, fidelity, and assessment completion. Acceptability was assessed with satisfaction surveys (parents and therapists) and focus groups (therapists). Results Twenty-three participants completed the study, attending 89% of occupational therapy sessions in the equine environment, and 88% in the garden environment. Providers achieved 93.7% fidelity to the experimental intervention, and 94.0% fidelity to the control condition. Parents and study staff completed 100% of outcome assessments, however only 54% and 80% of blinded raters in the experimental and control conditions completed all assessments. Parental satisfaction was highest for the experimental intervention (89.7%). Occupational therapists expressed satisfaction with the evaluation (90.7%) and intervention (93.3%), and provided recommendations for future studies. Conclusions The manualized intervention and assessment protocol is feasible to implement and acceptable to parents and therapists. Future studies can schedule make-up sessions, improve blinded rater assessment completion, and make minor modifications to the study protocol.
