Location: Milford, PA

Phone: 570-409-1140

Website: gaittrc.org

Services: GAIT TRC offers Horse Powered Reading® (HPR) to schools and the community. HPR focuses on the learning process for the individual and builds upon children’s natural curiosity and determination. During sessions, students are allowed to make discoveries and experiment with knowledge firsthand. Vera Ann Remes is trained to facilitate the interaction between client and horse to see what tools (toys and props) the child uses to choose and connect with their book (horse) and how that connection is made. As the facilitator, Vera gains insight into what the client is experiencing inside and what patterns are working or not working for them. That interplay allows for profound learning to take place.
