Symposium at Equiphoria on hippotherapy and autism

The conference, addressed to medical and welfare professionals, revolved around the presentation of a clinical case of a young woman with autism spectrum disorder that showed spectacular results after undoing a therapy at Equiphoria. It was organized by Dr. Saulus, MD, who sits on Equiphoria’s scientific committee. A panel discussion with professor Jean-Philippe Boulenger, psychiatrist, professor Pierre Delion, child psychiatrist and head of department at Lille University Hospital, Dr. Diana Ribereau, adult psychiatrist at Montepellier University Hospital, and Johan De Groef, psychologist at the Institution Sint Franciscus in Brussels, followed a documentary by Equiphoria’s psychologist Délphine Corbeau.

The discussions, which focused on the scientific validation of this type of therapy, resulted in a series of working hypotheses.
