Teen Individual Program

The Teen Individual Program (TIP) services teenagers with disabilities between the ages of 13 – 17.  This is an exciting opportunity for teens to explore and take part in farm experiences like grooming, feeding, and exercising our animals, mucking stalls and tending to our gardens.  

Teens join us one day a week and spend one hour at The Barn.  We hold two 6-week sessions in both Spring and Fall.  Our Program Director carefully pairs each teen with a trained volunteer who is there for support and guidance.  The program enables teens to gain independence and confidence and improve gross and fine motor skills. They engage in activities designed to cultivate communication, socialization, safety awareness, and most importantly, FUN!

Participants who require a support person at school such as a nurse, PCA, ABA, TSS, etc. to be successful medically or behaviorally must provide a similar support person at The Barn during their TIP sessions.  All participants new to the Teen Individual Program must come in for a tour and a Barn Visit with the Program Director to determine if the program is appropriate, best assess the participants’ needs, and learn more about them to pair them with their volunteer!
