Overview
Tucked onto 240 acres near Houston's Energy Corridor, this nonprofit OT center blends traditional occupational therapy with equine-assisted programming for children and adults facing physical or developmental challenges. Sessions span individual OT, a structured summer day camp called Camp Connections, Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, and retreat options for caregivers and families. The practice operates appointment-only at its 12570 Clay Road campus and runs no federal or state funding.
Children who thrive in outdoor, nature-based settings and could benefit from pairing hands-on occupational therapy with the sensory input of working alongside horses.
OT sessions are play-based and child-directed, targeting sensory processing, fine motor development, self-care routines, handwriting, attention, and emotional regulation. Specialized tools — Interactive Metronome, Dynavision, AIT, Spider Cage, and equine-assisted methods — are woven in based on each child's goals.
Appointments are required; families can call 713-858-2243 or email specialcheers@yahoo.com to inquire. Insurance acceptance is not listed publicly, so it's worth asking about payment options when you reach out.
