Quest Therapeutic Services, Inc.
Quest is a hippotherapy program operating in Unionville, serving children with special needs treatment with the help of a horse. Licensed pediatric therapists serve children with diagnoses such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, autism, and developmental delays, using the horse as a part of an overall treatment plan to achieve life goals.
Many of the children feel that their time on the horse with a physical therapist is the highlight of their week. To volunteer, or learn more about Quest Therapeutic Services, call 619-692-6362, or visit their website, www.questhippotherapy.com.
