Search show that about 8.7 of every 10,000 children are autistic and more than 1 in 300 children have some of the warnings of autism

. These acts are not very amusing to hear but they are showing the actual situation.

Autism is interpreted as a disorder in making progress that acts on children from birth till the age of three. These children show hardship in developing normal relationships with others in three areas of expression - language and communication; social relationships and interactions; and when it's about their state of being actives and their interests.

The cause of autism lasts foreign but the parents and the masters are taking their best to examine and determine it. One of the explanations is that it's about some affliction to the brain, that has happened perhaps prenatally, even though this has not been definitively proved, but also maybe at fault some genetic or chromosomal abnormality, metabolic disorders, immune intolerance, viral agents, or prenatal anoxia.

Exist many forms of treating autism and they are all straight on coming upon a way to make the autistic individual communicate more effectually, using social skills trainings. One of the methods that appear very effective for this disorder is the hippo therapy or horse therapy. It's a fact that the children love horses; they are aroused by their presence, their force, love to play with horse toys, play horse games, but in this state their communication with them is based not only on playing, but on some form of relating.

Hippo therapy is a terming used to describe the movement of a horse as part of a treatment scheme that is used by physical, occupational, and speech therapists. Psychiatrists noted that children with autism struggle to communicate but when they are with horses, they can reach so much. In this case it's not about teaching riding or horse care skills, it's been clinically proven that just being surrounded with horses changes our brainwave patterns. Doctor Franklin Levinson indicates that the horses have a relaxing effect that helps people stop being fixated on past or negative experiences.

Has been proven the children can oftentimes manage a horse more easily and more quickly than adults, improving an equal relationship instead than trying to control. A child who is given just a little intuition into dealing with a horse can easily become the natural leader the horse is looking for. The horse feels out of danger and peaceable and for return will cooperate with what the child asks of him.

This way the child can progress his communication skills, his psychological, behavioural and cognitive functioning, his sensory integration, his motor skills and coordination, but also and his muscle tone, head and trunk control, postural control, his strength and cardiovascular conditioning.
