Respite & Individual Support
Meaningful time for them. Time to recharge for you.
Clarity Equine offers individualized respite for children, youth, and adults in a welcoming farm environment.
Each visit is tailored to the participant’s interests, abilities, and support needs, with opportunities to spend time with horses, enjoy games and creative projects, or settle into quieter activities.
Participants enjoy meaningful experiences at their own pace, while parents and caregivers have dependable time to rest, recharge, or attend to everyday responsibilities.
Have Questions About Respite?
-
These opportunities are incorporated naturally into activities and everyday experiences.
Clarity Equine provides a unique farm environment, but participants do not have to work with horses.
For those who are interested, horse-related activities may include grooming, leading, horse care, preparing feed, learning about equipment, or other appropriate ground-based experiences.
Some participants enjoy being active and involved around the farm. Others prefer predictable routines, quieter activities, creative projects, or one-to-one interaction.We consider each participant's interests, communication style, independence, abilities, sensory preferences, support requirements, and safety needs when planning their time with us.
Opportunities for Independence
Everyday activities naturally create opportunities to practise useful skills, including:
Making Choices • Following Routines • Communication • Responsibility • Problem-Solving • Organization • Independence • Practical Life Skills
Activities are always selected according to the participant's interests, abilities, comfort level, and safety considerations.
A diagnosis is not required.
Before services begin, we complete an intake to learn about the participant and determine whether we can provide the appropriate level of support safely.
Supporting Participants & Caregivers
Respite should be meaningful for the participant and dependable for the people who support them.
Our goal is to provide caregivers with confidence that their family member is spending time in a structured, supportive environment where they are known as an individual, encouraged to participate, and given opportunities to enjoy their time in ways that are meaningful to them.
-
