AUTISM WARRIOR: Rupert Isaacson is founder and co-director of the Horse Boy Foundation.

Rupert Isaacson is founder and co-director of the Horse Boy Foundation which consists of two main programs:

• The Horse Boy Method, an equine therapy that addresses the nervous system and builds neuroplasticity for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit disorder (ADD), and other related conditions.

• Movement Method, a kinetic learning program applicable for both home and classroom.

Both of these dynamic programs work with the brain and nervous system, getting long-term kinetic learning and brain training by doing movement-based activities that act on the learning receptors of the brain. The foundation now works in 20 countries and serves about 30,000 families per week, a number that is rising. It’s neuroscience disguised as play and works for kids and adults alike. Rupert said autism is their specialty, but they work with all neurocognitive diagnoses including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD), anxiety, depression, eating disorders, post-trau-matic stress disorder (PTSD), and more. Schools are adopting their kinetic learning modules for neurotypical kids, too.
