Our association with Partners for Progress has been a life changing experience for our 27 yr. old autistic son. He started riding with PFP almost 7 years ago and has become a "part of their family". When he started riding with them, he had never been on a horse, and didn't want to even try. However, he was given no choice and quickly we realized it was going to become his passion. We, along with the PFP staff, saw that he had a special connection with the horses and that he was learning, and loving, the entire experience of being with them. So after a couple of years, he was hired by PFP to work there 5 days/week, as well as spend time volunteering with the program. He also became part of their horse show team. His social interactions and communication have improved greatly, and what seemed to be a limited future has now become a pathway to freedom and independence. PFP has provided the spark that is making such a huge transformation in him and enabling his future. He loves his job and the people he works with, and most of all the horses ! We thank the staff and director of the organization for all that they've done for our son. They truly have changed his life.
