Smrekar, Anja (author), Karpljuk, Damir (mentor), Hadžić, Vedran (co-mentor)

Namen diplomskega dela se poraja iz vprašanj, kako lahko terapija s konjem vpliva na boljše počutje jahača in za koga je primerna ter s katerimi težavami se srečujejo osebe s posebnimi potrebami. Zato smo v diplomskem delu predstavili terapijo s konjem kot eno od oblik pomoči osebam s posebnimi potrebami ter vpliv terapevtskega jahanja na izboljšanje njihovega psihofizičnega stanja. Razložene so razlike med različnimi vrstami terapevtskega jahanja in cilji, ki jim sledijo. Konj ni le orodje za doseganje cilja, temveč je član terapevtskega tima, ki hkrati pomaga pri izoblikovanju delovnih navad, premagovanju strahu, pa tudi krepitvi samozavesti, zaupanja v lastne sposobnosti, gradnji občutka odgovornosti ter prepoznavanju in upoštevanju skupno postavljenih pravil. Skrb za konja, kot so nega, hranjenje, jahanje, vključujejo aktivnosti gibalnih spretnosti, zaupanja, sodelovanja, prijateljstvo, komunikacijo in odgovornost do živega bitja. Terapija s konjem je primerna za vse oblike psihofizičnih motenj, kot so hiperaktivnost, izboljšanje drže, sproščanje zakrčenih mišic, avtizem, za osebe s premajhnim samozaupanjem, osebe z zmanjšano sposobnostjo delovanja v skupini, Downov sidrom, za osebe, ki imajo motnje zaznavanja in govorne težave, lažje in težje gibalno ovirane osebe, cerebralna paraliza, ortopedske motnje, nevrološka obolenja … V našem primeru je bilo na prvem mestu osredotočenje na govorno motnjo kot osrednji problem in katerega bomo skupaj z orodjem PINK podrobneje predstavili v nadaljevanju. Na podlagi ankete je bila načrtovana raziskava, ki odgovarja na vprašanje, ali je potreben jahalno terapevtski center v Ljubljani in zakaj. S spletno anketo smo ugotovili, da v Ljubljani potrebujemo terapevtsko-konjeniški center za osebe s posebnimi potrebami, ki naj bo v bližini mesta, za primerno ceno in z dobro usposobljenimi terapevti. Zavedati se moramo, da število oseb z različnimi motnjami narašča. Namen raziskave je ugotoviti, ali terapija na konju pomaga osebam pri izboljšanju kakovosti življenja, vključevanju v okolico, motivaciji, pozornosti, poslušanju navodil, doseganju večje odgovornosti in samozavesti glede na obliko motnje, ki jo oseba ima. Zato bi bilo potrebno:  vzpostaviti sistem zgodnjega odkrivanja težav obravnavanih otrok in mladostnikov, pospešiti procese ozaveščanja in izobraževanja na vseh ravneh.  Prilagoditi izvajanje programa posamezniku.  Uspešno in pravočasno vključevanje mladostnikov v sistem integracije. Pravočasno ugotavljanje težav in uspešno vključevanje v družbo je več kot zgolj omogočanje vpisa v redno snovno šolo. Je socialna integracija, stik, ki ga mladostnik doseže v družbi. To pa lahko doseže le s sodelovanjem, sprejemanjem drugačnosti in usposobljenimi terapevti. Zato je potreben obojestranski interes, obojestransko sprejemanje in sodelovanje. Vsaka družba ima in potrebuje osebe s posebnimi potrebami. Ti nas normalizirajo. Ob njih se zavemo, da obstajamo različni ljudje z različnimi potrebami.

• Title: Development of therapeutic riding in Ljubljana

Abstract

The purpose of the diploma thesis arises from the question of how horse-therapy can affect the well-being of the riders and for whom it is appropriate, and what problems people with special needs face. Therefore, in the diploma thesis, horse therapy as a form of help for people with special needs and the impact of therapeutic riding on the improvement of their psychophysical condition was presented. The differences between the various types of therapeutic riding and the goals that follow them are explained. A horse is not only a tool for achieving the goal but a member of the therapeutic team, which at the same time helps in shaping working habits, overcoming fear, as well as strengthening self-confidence, trusting in one's own abilities, building a sense of responsibility, and recognizing and adhering to commonly set rules. Caring for horses such as nursing, feeding and riding involve motoric skills, confidence, cooperation, friendship, communication and responsibility to a living being. TPK is suitable for all forms of psychophysical disorders such as hyperactivity, improvement in posture, release of tight muscles, autism, for people with insufficient self-confidence, for people with reduced ability to work in the group, Down's syndrome, for persons with sensory disorders and speech problems, lighter and more difficult mobility-impaired persons, cerebral palsy, orthopedic disorders, neurological diseases ... In our case, the focus of the speech disorder was the central problem in the first place, and we will be presented with the PINK tool in more detail below. Based on the survey, research was planned to answer the question of whether the Horse Riding Therapeutic Center is needed in Ljubljana and why. With the help of an online survey, we found that in Ljubljana we need a therapeutic equestrian center for people with special needs, which should be located in the vicinity of the city, at a reasonable price and well-trained therapists. We must be aware that the number of people with various disorders is rising. The purpose of this research is to determine whether horse therapy helps people improve the quality of life, integration into the environment, motivation, attention, tracking instructions, achieving greater responsibility, self-confidence according to the type of disorder that a person has.
