There's a new device, designed locally that is helping those with Autism, ADHD and PTSD. It's called REST, which stands for Relaxing Equine Simulator Therapy. It's a seat that replicates the motion of a horse's relaxing gait. We get a demonstration of the device and talk about how it was developed from Marilyn Brown and Harriet Phillips. For details about REST, go to www.restbygait.com
