Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I looked into Hippotherapy at the stables that other children with DS use and the fee they told me was $50 for a one hour 1 on 1 session - I asked her how the other parents could afford that and she said she would look into it for me and she did but came up empty. I can't afford anything that goes for $50 a week.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 we pay $50 per hour for our daughter to ride. Not sure how I will afford it when my 1 year old can start.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Just remember, it's tax deductible as a medical expense!!!!!

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Is there any way that Medicaid would pay for this? (just a thought...I know that is a long stretch, but they do have waivers for expenses) Kristy Bolduc wrote: we pay $50 per hour for our daughter to ride.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 we dont' qualify for medicaid and our health insurance won't cover it. so we take it as a tax deduction. We are on a waiting list to receive money but the more severe children gets the money first since there is limited funds to give. Another child only gets it when a child dies.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Pony therapy. They learn to stand, kneel, ride sideways, backwards. My daughter was never to walk and after 1 session she took her first step. She's now walking all over. I do know that some children even with hippotherapy still will never walk but the love it and it does help in other areas. Jen Re: Grants Hippotherapy is therapy on a horse. They have told me that since my son is not walking now, he will most likely be walking in 8 weeks when he's done with the therapy. I guess it really works on their trunk control as well! Also, thank you for everyone's information for grants!

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I don't know if anyone is close to the Greater Cincinnati area, but if you are, I know a place that does hippotherapy, and they have funding possibilities available! There is a bit of a waiting list. If you are interested, please contact me directly, lipscokj@.... > > I am new to the group and am curious to know what > Hippotherapy is. > > __________________________________________________________ > Luggage?
