At P.A.A.T we offer a unique program as it incorporates the principals of early Intervention Practice and equine assisted therapy.
The model used is the KEY WORKER model as identified in the NDIS framework. The approach supports best practice in early childhood intervention because it helps the child and family to build their capacity and supports greater inclusion in community and every day settings, meaning each child will be provided with opportunities to grow and learn.
