For enrollment contact the Executive Director at
816-697-5400 and be prepared to
spend 10-20 minutes completing an initial intake interview.
In this initial interview, we will explain our
programs, the assessment and enrollment process, fees for programs,
and review any possible precautions to therapeutic horseback riding or
hippotherapy.
When a rider has reached the top of the wait
list, they are contacted with follow-up paperwork. When this paperwork
is completed in full, an assessment is scheduled. The assessment will
be conducted by a licensed PT, or OT, and the Executive Director.
The purpose of this assessment is to ensure each
rider is appropriately placed into our program, and goals and
strategies for success are identified early on. Only upon completion
of this assessment will a rider be eligible to register in our
programs.
We are working hard to expand our programs to
meet this ever-growing need!
