Wilderwood’s equine-assisted programs are an innovative and integrative approach designed for autistic people to strengthen authentic self-perception, self-possibility, and self-realization. Wilderwood also rescues unwanted horses, provides them a lifetime loving home, and educates the community about horses and autism.
In 2022, Wilderwood’s programs will be offered throughout the year in a compressed, immersive format for autistic adults and eight-week sessions for autistic youth (aged 8 and up).
The outcomes for Wilderwood’s programs include measurable improvement in:
- Self-awareness, confidence, and connection with others
- Positive emotional regulation and management
- Reduced emotional distress and anxiety
- Achievement of personal goals and aspirations
- Improved appreciation of mind/body interoception
