Another parent testimony

Mr. Mezzadra, as stated on the NARHA website, has attested to therapeutic riding and has "seen great strides in his daughter" who has mild MR and profound hearing loss with a cochlear implant. He says she gets very excited when they arrive, that her muscles relax when riding, that the horse's movement calms her, and that she imitates sounds and body movements.
I think this is an important observation by the father because it can be measureable. We need the researchers to carry this type of research out. I think I am getting some ideas that may be able to be drawn up and proposed to the Institutional Review Board.
