In the year that we've had the universal exercise unit, we have found a variety of activities to do inside "the cage", but this one takes the cake! We were treated to a karate demo by one of our patients! Thanks for sharing your moves with us!

Who remembers when sitting at your parent's desk and working was the ultimate play time activity? This young lady certainly does... We take every opportunity to allow for child-directed therapy activity for this very reason. This experience allowed her to navigate the whole clinic environment, share her wants and needs with her therapist, and engage in fine motor activity and imaginative play. While it may not have been what the therapist would have planned, it certainly provided a wealth of experience and opportunity for intervention in something that this young lady thought was just a quick trip to the office.

Meowdy -

Jiji and I are looking forward to getting these horses back to their normal routine. They've been getting beauty treatments in the barn so everything smells fruity. They've been working out in the arena and making us dizzy running in circles. Their vets have been out to do adjustments, and acupuncture. This is all cutting into our nap and rest time, and we are ready for everything to go back to normal. According to Sophie the barn will be back to normal soon! We cannot wait....

As clinicians, it’s important to understand a modality before we incorporate it into our practice. Knowing how to use a technique is only part of the process. We also need to understand its purpose, theoretical foundation, potential benefits and limitations, contraindications, and—most importantly—whether it is appropriate for the individual client in front of us. This past week, our equine team was able to provide an opportunity for both our regular therapists as well as our summer visitors from The Arc school program to experience the equine movement we utilize during hippotherapy sessions. This experience is critical in supporting our clinical staff in their safe and effective use of hippotherapy as an intervention tool. Thank you to our equine team for facilitating this experience!

While fall at DST usually signals a return to school for our patients, it also brings a wealth of opportunities for local colleges and universities to see what we do! Our clinical staff is excited to offer several educational opportunities this fall semester. We will have 2 fall undergraduate interns, and two groups of Physical Therapy Doctoral students from MSU, one completing an administrative project with our office as well as a large group engaging in clinical support in the arena. We will also be hosting two clinical placements through Crowder College and Eastern New Mexico University. While our staff enjoys sharing what makes DST such a great clinical location, we usually find that our patients have the most fun welcoming with the collection of new faces! Please help us welcome these individuals while they are on site with us!

As we head into the start of the new school year, we want to remind families to reach out as soon as possible with any necessary schedule changes. Please advise your therapist or the front desk so we can start looking at changes as soon as possible.

One of the offshoot programs of our equine team is our Carrot Club. Through this internal programming we offer beginner riding lessons and camps throughout the year. Last year we were excited to add a season ending show to the offerings for any of our Carrot Club participants, and this past weekend we were able to host our second annual Carrot Club Showdeo! This event offered the chance for our riders to show off the skills they've learned and compete, in a fully friendly manner, with their camp friends. Thank you to our equine team for putting together this opportunity for our participants, it was appreciated and enjoyed by all!

Meowdy -
After the hectic activity that filled July, it has been nice to get back to my normal supervisory roles. I am far more successful in overseeing art projects and naps than I am watching over the front desk. I am pleased I was trusted but would rather that job go to someone else in the future. Jiji is probably up for the job, I think...
In naps we trust,
Momo

This year's Water Week included the opportunity for our patients to create some amazing art as a group! With the assistance of spray bottles, sq**rt bottles, and squeeze bottles,s everyone has had the chance to add color to this large plain sheet. Once the art dries, it will be framed for the clinic with the Water Week 2026 logo. Each of our patients has been able to add their own individual touches to the canvas, creating a truly one-of-a-kind piece of art. We are excited to share its final version with all of the artists who contributed to its creation.
