The Children's TherAplay Foundation

     The Children's TherAplay Foundation (TherAplay) is a unique outpatient rehabilitation clinic for children with special needs.

     Our talented team incorporates the movement of horses into physical and occupational therapy sessions.

     Our mission is to provide children who have special needs a foundation for developing life skills through innovative therapies in a safe and caring environment, including equine-assisted physical and occupational therapy.

     TherAplay also offers adaptive horseback riding lessons for children who may not be appropriate for our therapy services but would enjoy and benefit from horseback riding as a recreational activity.

     TherAplay's clinic is open 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. We have an indoor, heated riding arena and see clients year-round.

     TherAplay is a provider in the Indiana Medicaid, First Steps and Children's Special Health Care Service systems.

Who Benefits from Equine-Assisted Therapy?

• Autism
