The simulators mimic horseback riding movements, enhancing coordination, strengthening muscles, and stimulating the musculoskeletal system.

The equipment transfer coincided with the launch of a training course focused on working with children who have autism spectrum disorders. This course is being conducted for specialists at the center and its branches in Samarkand, Karshi, and Fergana. It is led by Israeli expert Marina Tredler, who has previously trained the center's staff twice under the initiative of the Israeli Agency for International Development Cooperation, MASHAV.

The Israeli Ambassador to Uzbekistan, Gideon Lustig, noted that the project strengthens the long-standing partnership between the two countries.

"We take pride in sharing our experience. This is a contribution not only to the development of the center but also to improving the lives of children," he stated.

The head of the RCSAD, Vasila Alimova, expressed gratitude to the Israeli side, emphasizing that advanced methodologies help children with disabilities adapt more quickly to life in society.

The RCSAD provides medical, social, and educational assistance to children from socially vulnerable groups. The center places special emphasis on the rehabilitation of children with disabilities, as well as orphans and those at social-legal risk.
