Two More For The Roll

The first blog that I chose was We Can Ride. I chose this because I have a huge passion for horseback riding. I have been volunteering at a therapeutic horseback riding center since I was 10 years old. Over the years I have seen how much this kind of therapy helps out students. It is more then just a fun time, the therapy helps enhance communication skills, build muscle and has a sense of calming that puts people with disabilities at ease. The barns that have these programs have goals that the student riders need to reach, doing this helps the child earn something and the people around him or her see the progress and growth in the child.
 I feel that as a future special education teacher this is something that needs to be more aware of as an alternative kind of therapy. The blog that I posted shows many of the benefits from the program. In our area we have many centers that you can get involved with such as TREC that is located in Erie and the Schaffer farm in Espyville, PA.

 

 

The next blog that I read and loved was The Preschool Playbook, This gives a great idea on what books and projects to do in the Pre-school setting with the bloggers feedback about the topic and book.
