LITTLE BIT'S STAFF WAS ASSISTED BY 163 VOLUNTEERS.LITTLE BIT HAS THREE MAIN PROGRAMS: THERAPY UTILIZING EQUINE MOVEMENT, ADAPTIVE RIDING, AND EQUINE-FACILITATED PSYCHOTHERAPY AND EQUINE-ASSISTED LEARNING.LITTLE BIT OFFERS PHYSICAL, OCCUPATIONAL, AND SPEECH THERAPY UTILIZING EQUINE MOVEMENT. LICENSED THERAPISTS UTILIZE A HORSE AS A TREATMENT TOOL, INCORPORATED INTO THE PATIENT'S PLAN OF CARE, TO REACH FUNCTIONAL GOALS. IN 2020, THERE WERE 2,264 TREATMENT SESSIONS AND 83 EVALUATIONS. ADAPTIVE RIDING FOCUSES ON INCREASING INDIVIDUAL RIDING SKILLS WHILE GAINING THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS. LESSONS ARE TAUGHT BY ONE OF OUR INSTRUCTORS CERTIFIED BY THE PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION OF THERAPEUTIC HORSEMANSHIP INTERNATIONAL (PATH). PARTICIPANTS SHOW IMPROVED INDEPENDENCE, SELF-ESTEEM, CONCENTRATION, VERBAL FLUENCY AND REDUCED ANXIETY. IN 2020, THERE WERE 2,896 ADAPTIVE RIDING LESSONS.EQUINE-FACILITATED PSYCHOTHERAPY (EFP) AND EQUINE-ASSISTED LEARNING (EAL) INVOLVE LITTLE BIT PARTNERING WITH LOCAL MENTAL HEALTH THERAPISTS (EFP) AND EDUCATORS (EAL) TO PROVIDE SERVICES AT OUR FACILITY. THERAPISTS AND EDUCATORS WORK HAND IN HAND WITH A PATH CERTIFIED EQUINE SPECIALIST FROM THE LITTLE BIT STAFF. HORSES ARE UNIQUELY SUITED TO THIS KIND OF THERAPY BECAUSE THEY ARE INTUITIVE AND WILL REACT TO BEHAVIOR PATTERNS AND CUES THAT PEOPLE MIGHT MISS, ALLOWING THE THERAPIST OR EDUCATOR TO INTERACT ON A DEEPER LEVEL WITH THEIR PATIENT OR STUDENT AND ADDRESS ISSUES THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GO UNNOTICED. IN 2020, EFP SERVICES WERE PROVIDED TO 21 CHILDREN AND ADULTS, AND 96 INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS OF EAL WERE PROVIDED. 5765 0 10075 LITTLE BIT HOSTS WORKSHOPS/CERTIFICATIONS FOR PATH AND AMERICAN HIPPOTHERAPY ASSOCIATION (AHA).
