SHIOCTON, WI (WTAQ) – A local clinic that uses horses for mental health therapy will soon be closing.
The CHAPS Academy in Shiocton will shut down at month’s end.
Board of Directors President Mary Downs says the decision is based on the costs of equine therapy and the low reimbursement from insurance providers.
“I deeply regret having to announce that CHAPS Academy will close January 31. On behalf of the board members and the staff, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to those who have helped CHAPS these 14 years.”
CHAPS was first established to help kids who had trouble sitting still during therapy sessions in an office setting.
