Can horses help calm kids with autism? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT05846932
Summary
This study tested whether adding horses to occupational therapy helps autistic children ages 6-11 better manage their emotions, hyperactivity, and behavior compared to standard clinic therapy. Over 10 weeks, researchers compared the two approaches by measuring behavior changes and stress hormone levels in saliva. The goal was to see if interacting with horses provides unique benefits for self-regulation.
