Mission
The Cooper Ridge Farm organization is dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals with intellectual, physical, and emotional disabilities through Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT).We believe in the power of the human-animal bond to connect, nurture, and heal people of all abilities. Through our customized, hands-on programs, participants engage in structured farm-based learning guided by certified professionals and enriched by meaningful interactions with our animal partners. Our approach provides a unique and effective way to work on traditional therapy goals (such as those in speech-language, physical, occupational, and applied behavioral therapies).We proudly offer an alternative to traditional brick-and-mortar therapy services to the CSRA. In addition we also offer employment opportunities to individuals with disabilities through various grant funding sources.
