Beginning in the fall of 2019, Waubonsee Community College will offer a program that prepares students for the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH) certification as a Therapeutic Riding Instructor.
A certified instructor is qualified to conduct a safe, basic lesson that includes teaching a riding skill to children and adults with emotional, social, behavioral, mental and physical disabilities. Equine-assisted activities are used for the purpose of contributing positively to the well-being of people with special needs.
Information sessions about this program will be held on May 21 from 8:30 until 10:30 a.m.and on June 11 from 6 until 8 p.m. Both of these sessions will be held on at Waubonsee’s Plano Campus at 100 Waubonsee Drive in Plano in Room 209.
