Draper Sensory Method is an innovative and a worldwide unique methodology based on scientific principles of the brain-body connection and a well-defined series of equine mounted activities. It supports and enhances HBM participants’ abilities to think more rationally, make more socially acceptable decisions and receive hope for a successful and better life
The Draper Sensory Method: uses a systems approach, predicated on principles that enable each participant to focus on individual needs – to recognize barriers in thinking and replace them with more appropriate methods. Each equine achievement plateau activity creates core muscle and rhythmic movement simultaneously within three body planes, relieving the participant’s stress level and developing opportunities for balancing participant’s neuro-chemicals that allow a more flexible and resilient brain. Balancing neuro-chemicals creates a calming effect, self-confidence, rational thinking, and feelings of creativity for our participants. All of these are necessary ingredients for the participants to focus, remember and reason in order to change their belief system – a necessary step toward a participant’s recovery.
