At the headquarters of the
El Niño Simón Foundation in the state of Táchira, the first triage was carried out
for boys, girls and young people up to the age
of 17, to participate in the Equine Therapy Program “Love in Action”, carried out by the Tachirense Family Foundation, coordinated by the
Lcda.
Karem Duran de Bernal.
According to Durán, the recruitment was carried out
with the intervention of a multidisciplinary team made up of a psychopedagogue,
an equine therapist, a pediatrician, a
general practitioner, a physiatrist, a speech therapist, in addition to the intervention of a genetic counselor and the team of nurses, who had the support of the staff of Idenna, Educational Defenders, José Gregorio Hernández Mission.
The president pointed out that initially 10 cases
will be taken for participation in the “Love
in Action” Equine Therapy Program, which must meet certain
admission criteria, such as the fact that the child must be compulsorily enrolled in school,
must weigh less than 60 kilograms, must not present
any medical contraindications, and the remaining 26 will be taken into account for
the second, third and fourth cycles, so as not to have to carry out a new
triage, and even if necessary, they will receive other
care such as physiatry, language therapy, occupational therapy,
psychology, psychopedagogy, as the case may be, free of charge.
The first group of the “Love in Action”
Equine Therapy Program is scheduled to begin on February 8, at the
headquarters of Asogata, but over the course of the year there are estimated to be four
cycles to be completed, hence the importance of the support of the different
institutions and collaborators, the El Niño Simón Regional Foundation, in the triage
process, Asogata, which provides us with its facilities to
carry out the therapies, the Equisalud foundations, FundaZoo, which
lend us the mares, in addition to the equipment and the equine therapist, the Idenna who advises
us on a legal level with children and adolescents, among others.
