Creative Therapy Care
Founded in 2009
Our mission is to support children and adults with special needs through the use of occupational, physical, and speech therapies incorporating animals.
We provide education to the public regarding the therapeutic benefits and advantages of working with animals. We raise funds to provide these therapies to individuals with special needs, regardless of ability to pay.
Creative Therapy Care therapists are licensed in their respective fields and are specially trained to utilize animals as catalysts to encourage interaction and facilitate individualized goals.
What is occupational therapy?
Occupational Therapy is a holistic approach to treating individuals with varying physical, sensory, neurological, and cognitive abilities through the use of everyday activities. Occupational therapists work with a wide variety of people from infants to geriatrics, in settings from acute care to outpatient facilities.
What is animal-assisted occupational therapy?
Occupational therapy incorporating animals provides a unique experience to clients through offering a playful and welcoming environment to receive services. The animals are incorporated into the therapy sessions to enhance the client’s opportunity to practice social skills, emotional regulation, and fine and gross motor skills, as well as caring for a being other than themselves.
