Horsepower Experience at UNCG
For 5 years, the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) has enjoyed a collaborative relationship with HorsePower Therapeutic Learning Center in Colfax, NC.
This is a premier North American Riding for the Handicapped Association certified equestrian therapy facility. Each summer, graduate students from CSD have participated in this two week camp to gain clinical practicum experience. The population of this camp varies from year to year, but has included adjudicated youth with language literacy disorders and developmentally delayed pre-school children.

During the summer of 2008, under the direction of Professor Perry Flynn, Dr. Kristine Lundgren (see also Cognitive Linquistics Laboratory ), and Professor Lyn Mankoff, faculty members in CSD, the camp focused on the communication deficits associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
- riding
- basic barn management
- a classroom setting that is focused on teaching the participants about the thoroughbred race horse industry
This clinical experience also serves as a field research laboratory for students and faculty interested in collecting data on animal assisted therapies, therapeutic riding and the cognitive-linguistic deficits associated with TBI.
