Profile
Equine Assisted Learning...A New Approach to working with Autism and Anxiety
Rainbow Horses Learning Centre is an approved Alternative Education Provider.
We work with local authorities, schools and families to help children with autism or other social or communication difficulties.
We specialise in working with children who have complex issues that mean they struggle to cope with schools.
The work we do with our horses can improve empathy and social understanding, support communication skills, increase self-confidence and self-esteem, lessen anxiety, develop physical skills and allows young people to gain nationally recognised qualifications.

Testimonials
Theo
Theo is 7 (nearly 8!) and loves animals, Minecraft and Pokemon. He also has autism. His profile fits that of 'pathological demand avoidance', in that his central difficulty is his avoidance of the everyday demands made by other people, due to his high anxiety levels when he feels he's not in control. Many children avoid demands to some extent, but children with PDA do so to a far greater level than is considered usual. He also has a sensory processing disorder and dyspraxia.
When he feels pressured and anxious he can become highly explosive and display some very challenging behaviour. But when he's feeling calm and happy he is the most delightful boy you could ever imagine. This, of course, is the real Theo.
Because of the above school has been very difficult for Theo. Despite having full time 1-2-1 support he is not coping in mainstream school and we are currently working with his current school and a myriad of other professionals and the Local Authority to find somewhere less stress
