Individual and Group Nature Based OT Sessions
Individual Sessions
​
OT Sessions incorporate hippotherapy, ground work with the use of the horse, sensory integration therapy, and fine and gross motor interventions.
Increased research shows the benefits of nature for health and wellbeing and academic outcomes. Being in nature helps boost the benefit of therapy and move kids towards their physical, cognitive, and social goals.
Nature based activities are always play based and follow the child.
​
Hippotherapy can be used in sessions with early intervention and school aged children provided it is appropriate and they are able to be safe.
​
All sessions are 45 minutes to allow for time to mount and dismount and appropriate ground OT activities.
Superbill is provided for out of network insurance reimbursement.
​
Rain or Shine!
We don't cancel for bad weather, we dress properly and have fun in it. Sessions will move to the ground when mounted isn't possible due to the weather.
The only exception is hazardous weather, such as lightening, or snow and ice that would make driving dangerous. We'll help you know how to best to dress your child so that all weather is enjoyable.
