The Children's Theraplay Foundation Inc

The Children's Theraplay Foundation Inc is dedicated to providing individualized skill development for children with disabilities and unique needs. They achieve this through the strategic use of physical, occupational, and speech therapies, employing a horse as a therapeutic tool in a safe and nurturing environment. This medical facility specializes in serving children with a wide range of special needs, including Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy, and numerous other conditions. The organization caters to children aged between 18 months and 13 years old.

The Children's Theraplay Foundation Inc operates three primary programs: physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Their physical therapy program merges a child-focused clinic with hippotherapy, utilizing the horse's movement as a therapeutic tool, to foster and strengthen the gross motor skills that children with special needs require to attain various milestones, such as standing, crawling, jumping, and more. The occupational therapy program integrates a sensory-rich clinic with hippotherapy to develop and strengthen fine-motor skills, which are essential for children with special needs to perform daily activities, like self-feeding and self-dressing, as well as engage in social play and motor planning.

The Children's Theraplay Foundation Inc played a significant role in providing 11,350 therapy sessions in 2022, demonstrating their commitment to empowering children with disabilities and unique needs through personalized therapeutic care.
