9. Certify two instructors with NARHA. 10. Reintroduce the Driving for the Disabled program. 11. Increase funding for our scholarship program. STEP Mission Statement STEP's mission is to provide an opportunity for those with disabilities of all dimensions, a framework that will enhance their functional potential with ADL’s (activities of daily life), utilizing both tested and innovative modes of equestrian rehabilitation and treatment. Vision Statement A shared vision and goals of volunteers, equestrians, and members of the board is to: • Provide quality personalized equine rehabilitative services. • Correlate complementary services with the needs of clients within the community. • Promote education and training for participants, volunteers, and horses according to PATH (NARHA) and AHA standards. • Provide service projects for Capital District Colleges, schools, and community organizations. • Continue to promote research and advocacy of the benefits of therapeutic riding. Professional Program Goals Provide quality personalized equine rehabilitation services Correlate complementary services with the needs of clients within the community Promote educational training for participants, volunteers, and horses according to PATH (NARHA) standards Provide service projects for Capital District Colleges, Schools and Community organizations Continue to promote research and advocacy on the benefits of therapeutic riding through public speaking and community health education Program Services Hippotherapy . STEP-Up therapeutic riding services, Equine Experiential Learning Program and Horses for Heroes are offered at STEP STEP provides for children and adults ages 4 and up a unique form of therapy in which the horse is used as a partner to improve their ability to function in life. Included in the program are those with cerebral palsy, autism, spina bifida, traumatic brain injury (TBI), blindness, ADH, PDD 9pervasive developmental disorder), aspergers syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, downs syndrome, learning disabled, at risk youth, apraxia, sensory integration and hearing impaired. Treatment is according to PATH (NAHRA) standards and approved by medical doctors. After the initial evaluation is completed we provide a hands-on approach specifically tailored by a physical therapist; speech language pathologist, occupational therapist, instructor or psychotherapist to meet the needs of each child or adult. Both short term and long term goals are established and monitored through the season by progress notes. Children and adults are paired with the appropriate horse and volunteers in one of three areas of our program. First, those that cannot be independent on the horse must receive passive care and are placed in Hippotherapy sessions. Second, hose that can bridge the gap growing towards independence may start
in STEP –UP, our own copyrighted developmental riding program. Third, eventually joining others who can be independent in the therapeutic riding program and potential Special Olympics participants. Our facility is handicapped accessible with a specially designed wheelchair-mounting ramp, handicapped bathroom, specially designed equipment, and grooming tools. Our horses are specially trained for the program and come form various areas of the horse world. Children and adults are offered choices of “ring work” and trail work on the sensory integration trails as part of their lessons. Supporting Services Financial Support: We obtain scholarships for individuals who cannot obtain financial help or are in need. Local orgranizations that assist us are child and family services of Schenectady county, Epilepsy foundation, AIM, Center for the Disabled, the Lutheran Brotherhood, United way of Schenectady County and Catholic Charities, Saratoga Gaming & Raceway, The Karen and Gary Dake Foundation, the MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOUNDATION, The STEWARTS HOLIDAY MATCH Campaign, Freihofers Run/Walk for Women, and various charitable organizations in the Capital District. Supporting professionals donate their time to evaluation and implementing therapy to the children with the staff. Community Service Groups Physical Support: We are provided with physical help from many community service groups including Living Resources (an adult group with special needs), GE. Research and Development, Alpha Phi Omega From R.P.I College, Lockheed-Martin, KAPL,IBM service groups, Local Rotary Organizations, St. George’s Masons, Trinity Baptist Youth Groups, The World Changers, Mohawk and Hudson River Girl Scouts, Boy scouts, G.I.V.E, Scotia Glenville Local School Honor Students, Russell Sage Physical Therapy Club and the Galway Lions Club. Our groups vary with each year and our list continues to grow. Organization Activities STEP provides not only therapeutic riding, hippotherapy, developmental riding and driving, it also provides an avenue for volunteers to gain experiences in a unique program with the surrounding community. STEP holds quarterly community fundraisers and events that bring both able-bodied and special needs people together. Every year in March we hold the candle ceremony and lighting of our tree of love called the Lights of Love. In March we hold an indoor “picnic party”, followed by volunteer training on Saturdays for new and returning volunteers. April signals the beginning of the Spring season with the “Open House” in May followed by the Teddy BEAR Picnic in August. More volunteer training continues in May and into June. Every July, we have a volunteer barbeque, and then begin our summer program for clients. In September we have our annual “Farm Family Fun Day’ community awareness event and “Horse Poop Bingo”. October is our annual horse show and “STEP out 2 the RACES” fundraiser followed by “STEP out with SANTA” in December which winds down the season. Our volunteer awards banquet has been combined with a Christmas party, for the past few years. We conclude the year and signal the beginning of the next with a NO-GO-NO SHOW New Year’s Eve party.
