To begin the application process, please fill out the following form. Once our team has reviewed your application, we will contact you to schedule a consultation session. The purpose of the application and consultation are to ensure our program is a good fit for your family’s needs and goals. Please provide as much information as possible to help us fully understand the needs of your child/family and accommodate you as best we can. Our sessions are individualized, so the more detailed, honest, and accurate information we have the better job we can do. All information provided is confidential.
If applicable, please provide copies of any IEPs, 504 plans, or other evaluations/reports which can help us better understand your child’s needs and goals. Please also provide contact information for at least one reference who can give us a more well-rounded picture of you and your family. Suitable references include therapists, teachers, and other professionals who have worked with you or your family for one year or longer.
Disclaimer: We have a limited number of spots available for our programs. Completion of this application form does not guarantee you a spot in our programs. If your application is approved, you will receive twelve weekly sessions at which point we will work with you to determine whether continuing sessions would be beneficial. Please note that if you miss two or more sessions without prior arrangement, you will be charged a $25 no-show fee and may lose your spot in the program.
Smiling Goat Ranch exists to provide therapeutic services free of charge for families in need. For that reason we do not charge any families for services, and instead ask you to donate what you are able. Donations, fundraising, and grants are essential for us to care for our herd of therapy animals and provide these services for your family and others in the community. We have several levels of suggested donation which are dependent on your combined household income listed below:
| Less than $25,000 |
