Abstract	Clinical Question: In adolescents, does incorporating hippotherapy with speech-language intervention improve speech- and language-based outcomes more than traditional therapy alone? Method: Systematic Review Study Sources: CINAHL, PubMed, PsycINFO, ERIC, ASHA Search Terms: communication disorders OR speech therapy OR speech pathology OR speech language pathology OR language disorder OR language impairments OR speech delay OR speech instruction OR speech skills OR language learning OR communication impairment AND hippotherapy OR therapeutic riding OR equine therapy OR equine assisted therapy OR equine assisted activities OR equine OR recreational OR riding Number of Included Studies: 2 Primary Results: (1) Play skills and nonverbal cue comprehension improved with hippotherapy (Hsieh et al., 2017); (2) Play and nonverbal messages decreased after withdrawal from hippotherapy (Hsieh et al., 2017); (3) Hippotherapy improved speech-language skills and motivation (Macauley & Gutierrez, 2004); and (4) Parents and participants reported hippotherapy was more effective than traditional speech-language therapy sessions for speech-language skills (Macauley & Gutierrez, 2004). Conclusions: The research on hippotherapy as a treatment tool is expanding, although much of this lies in fields outside speech-language pathology (i.e., physical or occupational therapy). Of the two studies found that used hippotherapy as a tool to facilitate communication, there is evidence of improved speech-language outcomes for individuals with language-learning disabilities and cerebral palsy (Hsieh et al., 2017; Macauley & Gutierrez, 2004). Recent systematic reviews exploring hippotherapy in children with autism spectrum disorder found that incorporating hippotherapy into speech-language therapy sessions improves social communication skills and reduces maladaptive behaviors (Srinivasan et al., 2018; Trzmiel et al., 2019). Continued research exploring the inclusion of hippotherapy along with evidenced-based speech-language intervention is warranted and seems promising. (As Provided).
