3-day workshop
UNLOCK THE POWER OF EQUINE ASSISTED THERAPY IN SPEECH CHALLENGING CASES
Join us for an engaging and hands-on workshop designed for Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) seeking to enhance your expertise in Equine Assisted Therapy (EAT) for clients with complex communication, medical, physical, and psychological disorders.
This workshop provides a unique opportunity to deepen your knowledge and apply skills to specific case studies.
Are traditional speech therapy methods falling short in certain settings?
Beth Macauley's method acknowledges the profound connection between language development and emotional engagement, setting it apart from traditional approaches.
By harnessing the inherent benefits of Equine Assisted Therapy, we create dynamic opportunities for clients to naturally enhance their speech and language abilities.
Who Should Attend?
- SLPs who currently integrate EAT into their practice.
- All SLPs interested in exploring this innovative therapeutic approach.
- Physical Therapists (PTs) and Occupational Therapists (OTs),
preference given to those attending with an SLP.
What You Will Learn:
- Strategies for addressing challenging cases through EAT/hippotherapy.
- Practical case study applications to enhance clinical decision-making.
- Hands-on learning experiences in a supportive environment.
Without embracing innovative approaches, individuals with speech and language disorders may miss out on opportunities for meaningful communication and empowered living.

Testimonials from Participants
Listen and read how participants enjoyed Beth's workshop in Europe!
We have just completed a two-day workshop with Dr. Beth Macauley, a world-renowned speech therapy specialist who also works with horses. While I do not intend to become a speech therapist, I learned many valuable things that will help me in my practice as an equestrian. I gained insights into language development and how to assist individuals, especially children, who have difficulties with expression and communication with the horse.
I attended a course with the incredible Dr. Beth Macauley, focused on speech therapy using horses, and it was truly outstanding. I highly recommend it to anyone working with clients who have speech difficulties. Beth is amazing, and she demonstrates how speech therapy can achieve remarkable results. I expected to learn new approaches for working with children with conditions such as dysphasia or speech apraxia. Everything I learned during this course will undoubtedly be useful in my practice. Beth showed me how small techniques can lead to significant changes, and I am excited to apply them with my clients.
