OPWDD Self-Direction: Equine Eligibility

Equine Services & OPWDD Self-Direction

Individuals enrolled in New York State’s OPWDD Self-Direction program may be eligible to include equine-assisted activities and equine-facilitated wellness services as part of their approved budget. These services can support personal development goals such as emotional regulation, social engagement, and physical well-being.


We work closely with individuals, families, brokers, and care managers to ensure that services are aligned with OPWDD guidelines and properly documented for inclusion in Self-Direction plans. All services must be pre-approved and included in the individual’s budget and Life Plan.


If you're interested in incorporating equine-assisted services into your Self-Direction plan, we’re here to help guide you through the process.
