From Positively Playful: "Positively Playful Occupational Therapy, PLLC was established in 2010. In January 2011, we purchased a 15 acre farm, conveniently located in the beautiful town of New Scotland. Our facility includes a barn with 4 stalls, 3 large pastures and several "trails" winding around our hay fields. There is also an indoor clinic space (for use during inclement weather) with bathroom.

"Our clients appreciate the peaceful nature of our location, facility, staff and animals. We strive to maintain a relaxed atmosphere for all to enjoy. Visits to our facility are welcomed as we feel they are the best way to see if our approach it is right for you."

What Is Hippotherapy
"Hippotherapy is a form of physical, occupational and speech therapy which utilizes the movements of a horse to elicit desired responses in a patient.

From Positively Playful: "We service clients with Autism/Aspergers, cerebral palsy, global developmental delays, down syndrome (and other genetic-based syndromes), sensory integration disorder and traumatic brain injury. Impairments addressed include abnormal muscle tone, decreased balance, decreased coordination, difficulty with sensory modulation, decreased postural control and poor arousal/attention."
