PATH Intl. Conference to Feature Two World-Class Speakers

Denver—Many excellent opportunities present themselves to PATH Intl. Conference attendees every year. This year, PATH Intl. is excited to offer two phenomenal speakers at the PATH Intl. Conference and Annual Meeting, presented by title sponsor Purina, October 29 – November 1, 2014, in San Diego.

Dr. Aubrey Fine, California State Polytechnic University, will be the feature luncheon speaker on October 30. Dr. Fine is an expert on attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). He will overview ADHD and its implications to a child's life. Attention will be given to discussing the etiology of the disorder as well as the impact the disorder has on the social/cognitive and behavior of these children. Special attention will be given to explaining the psycho-social challenges these children face in the areas of social skills and resilience due to the pervasiveness of the disorder. Finally, Dr. Fine will highlight how equine-assisted activities and therapies can effectively work with this population and make interactions more meaningful and valuable. Dr. Fine is the author of several books includingTherapist's Guide to Learning and Attention Disorders and The Handbook on Animal Assisted Therapy.

The general session on October 31 and two special workshops during the horse expo on November 1 will feature world-renowned horse clinician Chris Irwin. As a pioneer in both the evolution of enlightened horsemanship techniques and the emergence of equine-assisted personal development coaching, Chris inspires, educates and entertains with a lifetime of revolutionary insights on his groundbreaking work in his talk, Horse Sense for Human Potential. This is a  comprehensive body, mind and spirit overview, defining how different handling and training techniques affect, for better or worse, the behavior, performance potential and well being of not only the horses but also for ourselves and the people we aspire to serve. The two workshops during the horse expo will build on this general session topic showing how the behavior and performance potential of horses is subject to the behavior of their human handlers and trainers. Chris reveals how to evolve our techniques in order to truly simulate equine body language and be able to communicate, bond, and establish a genuine leadership connection. This will be a profound demonstration of empathy with horses so we can help them learn how to learn.

The PATH Intl. Conference is packed with many educational, entertaining and provocative sessions. Early bird registration is now taking place and ends September 17. Visit the PATH Intl. Conference page for details or call Amanda Walters at (800) 369-7433, ext. 105.
