Many of our students go to Segal and Iyer for their orthodontia which makes sense because our families believe in the best for our children – quality education and quality health care. With tuition only covering 65% of our costs, we rely on donors like you in the community to help close the gap between our costs and revenue.
Thank you for considering this vital organization in our own back yard!!!” www.kellmanbrownacademy.org

Therapeutic Riding at Majoda
Majoda Stables offers therapeutic horseback riding for people with special needs. Riding on horseback offers many benefits and advantages for individuals with learning and communication differences, emotional and social growth, and physical differences. The physical motion of the horse stimulates the areas of the brain associated with walking. It has a cadence that the human body can respond to and helps the rider to develop balance, coordination, and rhythm through the use of exercises and activities. Communicating with the horse, whether through verbal commands or physical signals using the hands and legs, results in the horse performing the tasks the rider has asked for. It is possible to set up situations in which the rider can experience immediate success. www.majodastables.com
