Ending the notion that suffering is necessary for learning
BETHESDA, MD (June 23, 2010) -- The Autism Society is pleased to name Austin-based author Rupert Isaacson as one of its 2010 Autism Champions. The Autism Society gives Autism Champion awards to organizations or persons who have made significant contributions to improving the lives of all affected by autism.
An alternative sports day with welly wanging, sack races and a bucking bronco is being held in Cholderton on June 3 in aid of charity.
Called the Altogether Olympics, the event is raising money for The Horse Boy Foundation which helps autistic children find communication through horses.
Next year I will do a clinic for Horse Boy Foundation just to get a little closer to Heaven. ~Alfredo Hernandez
In 2008 Rupert Isaacson first came to Pen Llyn whilst promoting his Best-selling book and Film 'The Horse Boy' in the UK.
He has since set up The Horse Boy Foundation which uses horses as a means of therapy to help children with neurological issues such as Autism.
I'm very glad I had the Horse Boy Method DVD to watch and learn from. Thanks
How Do You Mix Classical Dressage, Neuroscience and Fart Humor to Reach Kids on the Autism Spectrum?
It's simple if you ask Rupert Issaacson originator of the Horse Boy phenomenon – "you just let the children take you on an adventure."
Rupert, with his rockstar hair and his Hollywood smile and upper caste British accent throughly delights with a boyish grin and self described "potty mouth." He held rapt a group of eight certifiers (including me, the original skeptic) and an additional 20 auditors at the bizarre moonscape that is the Shalom Institute, tucked in the back of the Malibu Hills.
