Happy Birthday, Hudson!

Hudson with Mom, Ashley

“Hi, I’m Hudson,” said the cute little red-haired boy with a winning smile. He readily introduces himself when he meets new people. Hudson turns ten today. He’s open and energetic, plays sports, and is on a swim team

Hudson was born with Down syndrome. He began therapy at three months through Babies Can’t Wait, a program for young children in Georgia. With ADHD, OCD, an immune deficiency, and a severe hearing loss, he has a lot on his plate for a little guy. When we met Hudson, he was between medications to control some of those issues. His doctor had taken him off the medication he’d been taking when he gained fifteen pounds in three weeks.

His speech is amazing, especially with Down syndrome and the degree of hearing loss.

His Occupational Therapist, Jeanna, says “In therapy, we have been working on higher level skills for increased independence such as self-care, responsibility, safety awareness, and emotional and self- regulation. Thus far, the approach has not met Hudson’s needs. . .  Through Therapeutic Riding Hudson would have the opportunity to address those same skills but in an environment that is highly motivation and meaningful to him. . . Therapeutic Riding could help Hudson reach his full potential.”

Happy birthday, Hudson, and happy trails.

Alayna Shines in Hippotherapy, and in Life

Image
  Alayna: the name means bright shining light. How perfectly right it is for this little girl! From the mom ent we first saw her at Triangle Therapy Services, we were captivated. She’s a tiny powerhouse who just turned two this summer, with soft dark curls and sweet loving eyes. Here she is, riding backward with amazing balance, and with her occupational therapist Shannon, and a visitor who really wanted to hold her. Jacob's Fund grants funds for hippotherapy to children with developmental impairments whose families cannot afford the cost of using the horse as a therapy tool. Jacob's Fund carries forward the loving, generous spirit of Jacob Noah Beachy, our founder's grandson. Jacob's experience in hippotherapy bordered on magical. He learned to walk and run; his vocabulary expanded exponentially. Honoring his life by helping other children achieve their potential and live a fuller, richer life is our mission.  We continue to be able to help children because caring pe...
