SUMMARY:

This ongoing research, developed within the Research Group “Research Laboratory for Children and Children in the Amazon” – LAPCIA/Ufopa, highlights the relationship between contact with nature and riding therapy for children with ASD, based on an empirical study developed with the program of Riding Therapy of the Military Police – PM of Santarém. It is about investigating the direct and intense experience with nature promoted by the relationship with the horse in an hippotherapy environment (ring and surroundings) and, as a result, examining the effect of this experience on the development of the child with ASD. The research has as conceptual support the Bioecological Theory of Human Development, which perceives the ecological environment as a system of dynamic structures independently grouped, including from the intimate care of the child by the guardian to broad contexts, such as school, neighbourhood, culture, among others that are part of everyday experience. The empirical work provides for the follow-up of four children with ASD who practice Riding Therapy, since the beginning of the process, and their families. Concomitantly, a conceptual study will be made of the aspects that make up the problem: contact with nature in the perspective of bioecological theory; autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and hippotherapy. It is hoped, with this proposal, to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of patients with ASD treated in hippotherapy, allowing the analysis of developmental transformations and the benefits observed with this therapy.
