Hello! My name is Emily, and I have always had a heart for helping individuals with special needs. I started volunteering for a therapeutic riding center when I was 14, where I assisted children and adults with disabilities with equine activities as a form of recreational therapy. With over seven years of service with the therapeutic riding center, I have been blessed with assisting individuals with Autism, Down Syndrome, Spina Bifida, William's Syndrome, as well as other cognitive and developmental delays. Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have about my experiences, abilities, or availability! Have a great day, ~Emily
