The Children's TherAplay Foundation

The Children's TherAplay Foundation Children's TherAplay provides physical, occupational & speech therapy for children with disabilities. The list goes on.

At Children's TherAplay, licensed therapists provide children with disabilities physical, occupational, and speech therapy which uses the movement of a horse as a tool to accelerate physical, emotional, and behavioral development. For over 20 years, TherAplay has been treating kids 18 months to 13 years with a variety of diagnosis and developmental delays and we have grown to become the largest facility specializing in hippotherapy in the country. The horse can provide a therapeutic input that cannot be replicated in any other type of therapy. These inputs have allowed our clients to see transformational outcomes, such as children with mobility limitations taking first steps, non-verbal children saying their first words, children learning to feed themselves independently, and dress and care for themselves more independently.

Physical and occupational therapies with horsepower

The Children’s TherAplay Foundation is one of the few clinics in the country dedicated to providing physical and occupational therapies on horseback for children with special needs. Our therapists combine a sensory-rich, child-centered clinic with hippotherapy – the movement of horses – to provide carefully graded motor, sensory, and neurological input to help Central Indiana children ages 18 months – 13 years grow stronger and more independent.

Find out about treatment, get to know the kiddos, and be part of the magic that happens here every day. Learn more at www.ChildrensTherAplay.org
