The summer her smile came back
Print Edition
Hu Wen, the mother of 鈥淶hao Lu,鈥 saw her daughter鈥檚 long-lost smile this summer.
鈥淎fter visiting the stables and taking photos with the horses, the moment my daughter got on the pony, she suddenly smiled,鈥 Hu Wen said.
Since the opening of the 2019 national youth sports summer camp on August 20, Zhao Lu and 29 other autistic children, known as 鈥渃hildren of the stars,鈥 have experienced equestrian sports in close contact with horses, in a form of treatment known as hippotherapy.
鈥淗ippotherapy began to rise in Europe and America in the mid-20th century. It plays an important role in the rehabilitation of children with autism,鈥 explained An Likun, head of department at the Yinchuan rehabilitation center for the disabled.
An said hippotherapy helps patients to recover physically and mentally by using the horse鈥檚 rhythm.
鈥淓xercise promotes sensory development and is important to the recovery of autistic children,鈥 said An.
