If your child was enrolled in the summer session you do not need to register for the summer session as they have the exact same riding days and times assigned to them for the fall session.

In addition to the therapeutic riding program LifeStriders offers additional family support services:

**Low cost & sliding scale counseling services for individuals, children and families offered by Veronica Sosa Agnoli, M.S. School Psychologist and Licensed Professional Counselor (training through UW-Madison)

**Educational counseling and consulting services specializing in special education. Helping parents work in collaboration with schools and representing families in IEP/504 meetings.

**LifeStriders Social Skills Program (will resume in the spring of 2009)
These fun and interactive groups are designed for children ages 6-12 with challenges in the area of social-communication that affects the quality of their interpersonal relationships. The goals of the groups include increasing social awareness, understanding others peoples' perspectives, and understanding the impact of their own behavior on the impressions that other people form of them. It is a fun class for kids to learn the skills they need in building social connections. LifeStriders social skills classes will be held in a small group setting with individualized activities. Classes will be held on Mondays at 4 pm and 5pm. Both groups will be facilitated by Veronica Sosa Agnoli, MS. and Ann Treleven-Carl, LifeStriders social skills trainer. Limited spaces available.
