Utah Day #4: CARE Schools

Today we meet with the representatives from the CARE Schools. First program was Red Rock Academy, then off to Falcon Ridge, ending the day at Lava Heights. All programs use the "PPC"- Positive Peer Culture model for their clinical model.
Falcon Ridge has an incredible equine program and is an "EAGALA" Training site (http://www.eagala.org/). The equine staff put us through an exercise of building a horse halter by tying knots with climbing rope. The end result is very cool.
Lava Heights welcomed us with music, mask making, ballroom dancing classes, and a lovely dinner. The open house was very impressive. The new buildings are all built with sensory friendly materials, and state of the art technology. They are welcoming their first 4 clients next week.

Thank you to all of the clinicians, clients, and horses for making us feel at home. Getting ready for the NASTAP Southern Utah Regional Conference.
