I've been told time and time again that this is an excellent therapy program for children with special needs. There is something about an animal and child and their bonding - just amazing. We are currently doing speech therapy while on the horse for my youngest child. Over the summer we did Occupational Therapy equally challenging but fun. My daughter loved it. Already we're seeing a difference - she's getting stronger, focused, works hard and really loves being on the horse!
Here's a list of some facilities in the area. Visit http://www.rush.edu/rumc/page-1239655964349.html
We go to and LOVE Horse Feathers stables in Lake Forest. The stable and therapy group recently was highlighted on WGN News http://www.wgntv.com/videobeta/88af8d06-cffd-4f9f-9c27-fea28e83d4a1/News/Help-therapy-from-horses-for-children-in-need
