At Epona, we don’t just offer one-on-one occupational therapy sessions, we offer nature-based group sessions, OT groups with our therapy goats and even a fly-fishing group in the summer. We do it differently because each child and family has their own goals and support needs.  Some families want therapy services in a weekly individual session, other families are looking for a fun group for their child to attend, for others once a month support group is perfect.

For caregivers, with traditional therapy there's really limited time for conversation at the end of your kid’s one hour session for just about 5 minutes, which always feels rushed.So you leave and come back the next week, but there is so much time in between sessions where you might have questions or would like to activities at home, or feel like you should remember what your therapist told you to do at home but can’t. So the traditional model feels really lacking to parents because you want to know what’s happening in your child’s session, what they’re working on, how they did, and what you can do at home to help them make progress. But without open lines of communication between sessions, that doesn’t happen.

So we decided to do something totally different at Epona to address these shortcomings in a traditional therapy model. We believe that parent communication is the key to effective therapy and support your helps your child developing.  So we include nature, parent empowerment, team communication, and offer customized school and home programs.
