Horse Boy Foundation

The foundation is dedicated to advancing compassionate, evidence-based education and care for children and families affected by autism. Our mission is carried out through a combination of outreach initiatives, professional development, and research. We provide free resources and training to schools, educators, and caregivers, promoting humane and neuroscience-informed strategies for supporting neurodivergent children. We actively participate in and contribute to neuroscience conferences to foster collaboration between researchers, practitioners, and families, ensuring that emerging insights lead to practical, empathetic approaches. A cornerstone of our work is the facilitation of inclusive playdate programs, designed to help children with autism navigate and improve sensory processing challenges. These play-based interactions serve as a bridge to more direct communication and social engagement.
