In this program, Helen Keller students get to meet and ride horses, most of us for the first time. Riding exercises a lot of muscles, so it's physical therapy too. Being up on a horse means you have to balance yourself, use your legs to grip the sides of the horse, and lots of other skills. Like we said earlier, most students live right here on campus. These are the Elliot Cottages for the older students.
Boys are on one side, girls on the other.
The younger students live in Rogers Hall, closer to the administrative building. Each dorm celebrates birthdays every month, and we also celebrate other special occasions. Two boys share a room and a bathroom. We're expected to keep our rooms neat, but the laundry is taken care of twice a week. Each cottage has houseparents and dorm aides available around the clock.
