“In 2019, shining hope farms' therapy services program served 142 patients (mainly pediatric) over the course of nearly 4,000 visits between its three locations. The program, conducted by licensed healthcare professionals, offers occupational therapy (ot), physical therapy (pt) and speech-language pathology (slp) that incorporates hippotherapy as one of the treatment tools/strategies in the overall therapy plan. The term hippotherapy refers to how ot, pt, and slp professionals use evidence-based practice and clinical reasoning in the purposeful manipulation of equine movement to engage sensory, neuromotor, and cognitive systems to achieve functional outcomes. Onsite clinics are also used for off-mounted activities to help achieve certain goals. Historically, 85% of patients who received treatment have made functional gains helping to improve their quality of life. An emphasis is placed on serving poor and needy families in the surrounding communities and a majority of the patients are able to access our services free of charge.”
