HIPPOTHERAPY IS A UNIQUE THERAPEUTIC APPROACH THAT INVOLVES THE INTERACTION OF PATIENTS WITH HORSES TO ENHANCE PHYSICAL, COGNITIVE, AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT. HIPPOTHERAPY UTILIZES PHYSICAL, OCCUPATIONAL, AND SPEECH-LANGUAGE THERAPEUTIC PRACTICES IN CONJUNCTION WITH EQUINE MOVEMENT. RESEARCH SUGGESTS AN OBSERVABLE CONNECTION BETWEEN HIPPOTHERAPY AND IMPROVEMENTS IN THREE HABITS OF DAILY LIFE (MOBILITY, COMMUNICATION, AND INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS). ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN HIPPOTHERAPY ASSOCIATION, HORSES CAN TAKE UP TO 2,500 STEPS WITHIN A 30-MINUTE CLINICAL SESSION. THE EFFECT ON THE PATIENT IS 2,500 FACILITATORY STEPS - MOVEMENTS THAT HELP ENHANCE AND SPEED UP A PATIENT'S PROGRESS TOWARDS ACHIEVING IDENTIFIED TREATMENT GOALS. THESE RESULTS CANNOT BE REPLICATED IN ANY OTHER THERAPEUTIC SETTING. HIPPOTHERAPY SESSIONS INVOLVE SPECIALLY TRAINED HORSES TO FACILITATE PHYSICAL, SENSORY AND EMOTIONAL CHANGES FOR PATIENTS. EACH PATIENT IS SPECIALLY MATCHED WITH A HORSE TO ASSIST IN MEETING THE SPECIFIC IDENTIFIED TREATMENT GOALS FOR EACH PATIENT.SUPPORT FOR HIPPOTHERAPY SERVICESA CORE COMPONENT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION IS TO SUPPORT THE PROVISION OF HIPPOTHERAPY SERVICES DELIVERED BY LICENSED PHYSICAL THERAPISTS, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS, AND SPEECH-LANGUAGE THERAPISTS TO INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS WITHIN THE TARGET POPULATION. TO FURTHER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE, EDUCATIONAL, AND SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVES, WE PROMOTE AND ENHANCE ACCESS TO HIPPOTHERAPY SERVICES WHILE RAISING PUBLIC AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING OF ITS BENEFITS. TO THIS END, THE ORGANIZATION HAS FACILITATED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PLLC THAT COLLABORATES WITH LICENSED THERAPISTS, BECOMING AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR EFFORTS TO PROMOTE HIPPOTHERAPY WITHIN OUR PROGRAMS. 132198 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 10 0 1 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 10 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 NY DE CT X X JEFF BERZON 9175535333 80-22 LITTLE NECK PARKWAY FLORAL PARK NY 11004 RANDY FALCO PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JESSICA FALCO VICE PRESIDENT / TREASURER 20.00 X X 21000 0 0 MELISSA JARZYNSKI VICE PRESIDENT 20.00 X X 21000 0 0 LYDIA STERNFELD TO 112024 VICE PRESIDENT / SECRETARY 20.00 X X 12000 0 0 LAURA MERINO AS OF 122024 VICE PRESIDENT / SECRETARY 20.00 X X 6000 0 0 JOE ABRUZZESE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ERIK BOYLE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KELLY BRANCO TO 122024 DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DEANNA CHIECO DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL FALCO DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHERYL MANDALA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 EMILY RUBIN GARCIA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALEX SIKOSCKOW DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOE STECCATO DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICIA STECCATO DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 60000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 205691 205691 PROGRAM SERVICE REVENU 900099 53289 53289 53289 258980 53289 0 0 60000 48000 9000 3000 6980 5584 1047 349 85083 85083 6821 6821 10584 8465 14 2105 2313 1851 346 116 4148 3318 623 207 5562 4450 834 278 PROGRAM SERVICE EXPENSE 54870 54870 OTHER EXPENSES 9416 5660 3402 354 245777 132198 107170 6409 43305 0 43305 30102 0 30102 X 13203 0 13203 0 43305 13203 0 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 205691 205691 205691 205691 205691 205691 53289 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2 1) RANDY FALCO (PRESIDENT), MICHAEL FALCO (DIRECTOR), JESSICA FALCO (VICE PRESIDENT/TREASURER) - FAMILY RELATIONSHIP 2) PATRICIA STECCATO (DIRECTOR) AND JOE STECCATO (DIRECTOR) - FAMILY RELATIONSHIP 3) MELISSA JARZYNSKI (VICE PRESIDENT) AND ALEX SIKOSCOW (DIRECTOR) - FAMILY RELATIONSHIP FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B ENSURE THAT THE MOST RECENT FORM 990 IS AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW.
