Animal Therapy for Children with Autism

You need to have JavaScript enabled to view this map

Working with animals has proved to be a huge success at this school for children with autism, severe learning difficulties and complex needs. But more permanent stabling is badly needed plus a dedicated therapy area and nature trail activities created by students to support their vocational work and to enable other children and young adults with autism from across the region to access this exciting project.
