Equine assisted counseling and nature-based experiential therapy programs for children, adolescents and families.Therapeutic summer day camps for children, including children growing up in at-risk communities and families. Grant writing and non-profit development services for equine assisted therapy programs. Our Approach
Children and adolescents with ADHD, sensory processing issues, trauma and ot
her behavioral and developmental concerns have a great deal in common. They are challenged with a set of brain based difficulties that can affect their ability to focus and can cause them to be emotionally reactive. Children who have trouble self-regulating throughout the day are missing out on typical childhood experiences in school, on the playground and with their families. At The Osage Corral we believe that these core competencies are foundational to life for all children, regardless of their specific diagnosis or circumstances. Therefore the development of
social -emotional intelligence and self-regulation skills is at the core of the work we do. Drawing on principles of sensorimotor psychology, eco-psychology, social-emotional learning, occupational therapy and animal assisted therapy, we have developed a unique, intensive therapeutic experience that is highly engaging and effective. We offer these experiential programs through individual, group and family counseling as well as through our therapeutic summer day camps. Our programs can serve as the primary counseling modality or as a brief, adjunct therapy that supports a clients traditional counseling services.
