About
Our Impact
Sometimes impact can only be measured in the smiles on the faces of a participant or a family member when they see their loved one achieve something they never thought would be possible.
However High Hopes is unusual in its commitment to continuous improvement and evidence-based practice. We are therefore taking part in a ground-breaking research study – The Therapeutic Riding Assessment of Impact Network. TRAIN utilizes goal attainment scaling. We will use this space in the future to increase the number of measured outcomes we are able to provide through TRAIN and other quality measurements such as trainee and participant satisfaction and quality surveys.
