Day 22

We were officially notified today that he is not ready for a family visit yet, so we will not be able to attend Family Weekend next week. I'm disappointed, but not surprised, as they had told us that its usually 4-6 weeks before they are ready to begin family therapy - so I'll see him at the end of July. His therapist also said that he was going to begin EAGALA (Equine Assisted Growth and Learning)next week, in hopes that working with horses would help him. I look forward to learning more about that as it progresses. It was explained that horses are incredibly in tune with emotions, and that in order to get the horse to do certain tasks, the student needs to be able to manage their emotions.
