Specialized Pediatric programs include:
Hippotherapy (located in Garrard
County)
This unique treatment method uses a horse as the therapeutic
tool. The sensory and motor stimuli provided through
the skilled use of the child on the horse assists in
the development of sensory, motor and language skills. The
program was developed and is coordinated by Director
Lisa Dreager, OTR/L, Hippotherapy Clinical Specialist. Sessions
are available in the Spring, Summer and Fall.
Aquatics (located at McDowell Wellness
Center)
Therapists use a wide range of skilled activities and
exercises in the water to assist a child with mobility,
sensory organization and communication. Aquatics
is available year-round.
Community contracts
Our therapists also provide services to children in
the community via contracts with local school districts,
preschool programs and Kentucky FIRST STEPS.
