Summary

This trial compares traditional clinic-based occupational therapy with horse-based therapy for children with autism. It aims to see if interacting with horses can improve attention, behavior, and social skills more effectively. The study involves 20 children who will undergo both types of therapy over a period of time. Equine-assisted therapy (EAT) has been studied for its benefits in improving social, cognitive, and psychological behaviors in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
