The project "TRYDE - Therapeutic Riding for Youth and Children with Intellectual Disabilities" co-funded by the European programme Erasmus + Sport - Small Collaborative Partnership, aims at:
promote equality in education and equal opportunities through equine assisted activities in order to facilitate the social inclusion and autonomy of young people with intellectual disabilities, with special focus on Autism Syndrome from 4 different European Countries: Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain.
The objective of the project will be achieved through the creation of a transnational model of innovative and inclusive good practices, focused on the treatment of intellectual disabilities through the use of Equestrian Rehabilitation.
A permanent cross-sectoral study committee for the development of inclusive policies and practices based on Equestrian Rehabilitation for people with intellectual disabilities – in particular Autism – will supervise the study and research activities on the state of the art and good practices existing in the field at national and European level. The exchange of good practices, interaction and networking, central to this project, will also be useful for the future harmonisation of the methods used, in order to guarantee intervention plans tailored to the target group of the activities (young people with intellectual disabilities, in particular Autism) and at the same time ensure guidelines for Equestrian Rehabilitation training designed for professionals working in the field of intellectual disabilities.
The project includes a training phase aimed at young people, professionals, instructors and experts in the field through non-formal activities based on practical aspects of Equestrian Rehabilitation in order to enhance their know-how in supporting young people with intellectual disabilities to increase their autonomy and social inclusion.
The testing and validation of the model will take place through the Equestrian Rehabilitation activity addressed to 20 young people with intellectual disabilities from the countries of the partnership and carried out by the professionals who participated in the training phase in order to validate the effectiveness of the model and its validity in other European and non-European countries.
