The Equine Discovery Center™ is a center located right outside of Bolivar, Missouri.  The services that we provide include Early Intervention services for children Birth- 3 years old, social skills play groups, parent and child groups, parent support groups and Equine Assisted Learning and Therapy for children on the Autism Spectrum.

 

Pamela Witt  graduated from Southwest Baptist University with her Bachelors of Science in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education. While looking for the best approach to teach children in urban magnet schools, she was then selected to attend the Rudolf Steiner Waldorf Education in the Public Schools Institute in Fair Oaks California. This approach was one in which she saw great results when teaching children of different abilities within the classroom, helping them reach their full potential and develop accountability for their own learning. After teaching in the Jefferson County Public Schools, she continued her education by attending University of Missouri-Columbia and earning her Masters in Special Education with an Emphasis in Autism. She is certified as an equine specialist through EAGALA (Equine Assisted Growth and Learning), as a Horse Boy™ 1 practitioner and is certified as a Horse Boy™ Movement Method provider.

 

To fully implement the Horse Boy™ learning program, we have been adding features to our facilities with the program in mind. Our facilities include an outdoor sensory area, a large outdoor riding arena, and a fenced Paddock Play area.
