Speech Aerobics: Interactive multi-sensory approach offered in small group setting under the direction of a speech-language pathologist and certified personal trainer with special needs background. Children will increase body strength and muscle tone through various physical activities while learning to sequence, follow directions, and improve social skills and language development. It helps promote language processing skills and speech production though physical activity.

Hippotherapy: The principal of hippotherapy involves using the movement of the horse to stimulate the vestibular and proprioceptive systems (helping sensory integration), while simultaneously increasing verbalization and social interaction. The horse is used as a tool to normalize tone, balance, coordination, strength and gait in students. It is a different approach from conventional therapy, which helps motivate the child so they can achieve their individual goals. Hippotherapy facilitates language processing and speech production. Our occupational therapists, speech therapists, and physical therapists are trained in classic hippotherapy principles by the American Hippotherapy Association (AHA) (www.americanhippotherapyassociation.org). Horse Talk, a division of GASLC, proudly offers hippotherapy at Green Acres Equestrian Center in Woodstock (Cherokee county). Go to www.narha.org or www.greenacresonline.com for more information.
