Hippotherapy Treatment Principles Part I
For the foreseeable future, AHA, Inc. has reformatted the Part I Hippotherapy Treatment Principles course to include four separate elements– all of which must be completed to receive a certificate of completion of the Part I curriculum and to receive full CE credit. This reorganization of the course continues to have the same contact hours and course material as the previous format.
The comprehensive information required to learn about this tool's theory and principles are provided by the:
Part I A Foundations Course
Basic Equine Skills Course -- Must Be Completed at Least 3 days Prior to Webinar
Online Part I Hippotherapy Treatment Principles Online Learning Module - Must Be Completed at Least 3 days Prior to Webinar
Part I A Foundations Hippotherapy Treatment Principles Live 2-day webinar (Two 4.5 hour sessions)
Part I B Applications Course
Part I B Applications Hippotherapy Treatment Principles Live 2-day webinar practicum (One 5.5 hour session & one 5 hour session)
PART I B Applications Hippotherapy Treatment Principles Webinar Prerequisite Experience Worksheet (This worksheet requires independent hands-on experience utilizing horses) -- Must Be Completed at Least 3 days Prior to Webinar
PART I B Applications Hippotherapy Treatment Principles Webinar Post-requisite Experience Worksheet (This worksheet requires independent hands-on experience utilizing horses) -- Must Be Completed Within 2 weeks of attending the Webinar
The Part I B webinar practicum is the conclusion of the Part I course. It emphasizes the clinical applications and critical thinking skills essential to understanding this tool. It is only upon completion of all four modules that the Part I course is considered complete and the therapy professional has a basic understanding of safe and effective incorporation of hippotherapy in OT, PT and SLP treatment.
Completion of the Part I course is required for attendance at the Part II Hippotherapy Treatment Principles
Completion of both the Part I and Part II courses is required to sit for the American Hippotherapy Certification Board (AHCB) exam.
