Resumen
[ES]El presente trabajo parte de la premisa que la terapia asistida con caballos (TAC) mejorará la
inteligencia emocional (IE) en personas con trastorno del espectro autista (TEA), con objetivos
dirigidos a la expresión, a la autonomía, a la empatía, al reconocimiento y regulación emocional.
Este estudio consiste en el diseño y desarrollo de un programa piloto dirigido y aplicado a una
única persona diagnosticada de TEA, llevado a la práctica durante cuatro sesiones con el fin de
trabajar el campo de la IE. La intervención se ha llevado a cabo con un equipo especializado y
la metodología que se ha empleado está basada en la idea de priorizar el bienestar animal y en
que las actividades ejecutadas estén debidamente estructuradas, tanto en monta como en pie a
tierra, incorporando a los caballos como nexo facilitador. Los resultados encontrados a través
de la realización de varias pruebas, antes y después de la ejecución del programa, muestran una
diferencia ligeramente positiva en la expresión emocional y en la empatía, siendo más neutra
en la categoría de la autonomía. Debido a las limitaciones que conlleva un programa piloto, se
recomienda realizar un programa completo de doce sesiones y con una muestra mayor para
poder contrastar los resultados. Además, sería recomendable aumentar los sistemas de
evaluación y contar con un grupo control para poder diferenciar si los resultados son
consecuencia directa de la IAC. Palabras clave: Intervención asistida con caballos, inteligencia emocional, trastorno delespectro autista, emociones, autonomía, empatía.
[EN]The present work starts from the premise that the people with autistic spectrum disorder will benefit from equine therapy due to emotional intelligence program, with objectives aimed at expression, autonomy, empathy. recognition and emotional regulation. This study consists of the design and development of a pilot program, carried out during four sessions, with a sample of a single person diagnosed with ASD to work in the field of emotional intelligence. The intervention has been carried out with a specialized team and the methodology used is based on the concept of prioritizing animal welfare and executing activities, well structured, both riding and ground work, with horses as a facilitating link. The results found after the completion of this trial sessions, before and after the execution of the program, show a slightly positive difference in emotional expression and empathy, being not as significative in regards to autonomy. A full twelve sessions program with a larger sample is recommended in order to get wider results as this trial sessions are very limited. In addition, it would be advisable to increase the number of control mesaures and to have a control group to be able to identify if the results are a direct consequence of the assisted intervention with horses.Key words: Horse assisted intervention, emotional intelligence, autism spectrum disorder, emotions, autonomy, empathy.
