ATR Webinar "In Case you´re not a Doctor"
As Adaptive / Therapeutic Riding Instructors we are passionate about our riders, who are often challenged by various medical conditions. Being confronted with all these terminologies can often be overwhelming.
But to develop our riders´ full potential we need a good understanding
- Of their diagnoses
- How they are affected by that
- How we can tailor our lesson to their fullest benefit
- What to look out for in terms of contraindications to ensure that we are offering a safe activity.
Clinician Esther Nofziger has developed this ATR Webinar including 5 Modules to help you expand your knowledge about a wide range of medical conditions that your riders might be challenged with. Check out Cindy´s review on the Lessons in TR blog here.
