SPEECH-Language THERAPY

Our N.E.S.T. Program offers community members a unique opportunity to meet their speech, language and communication goals by incorporating the farm and animals in treatment sessions.

Sessions can be provided in both indoor and outdoor settings utilizing animals and the farm setting to foster motivation, relaxation, minimize stress and offer a sense of safety and unconditional acceptance that puts therapy clients at ease.
