Video Story Idea - Monday Lab

The topic would be on ROCK, the Ride On Center for Kids in Georgetown. The organization focuses on hippotherapy, a therapeutic technique that uses horse riding to help people with sensory and motor disabilities. ROCK primarily helps kids, although they also provide services for adults, such as returning veterans. We believe this story is unique because people don’t usually don’t focus on horse therapy. News on disabilities and ways that people treat them is prevalent, but this is a different approach to a common problem. We plan to use the text narrative as a way to provide background information to the story. The possible video sources would be volunteers, instructors, ROCK board members, and (if permittable) the kids in the classes. The video would then allow for a more intimate viewership.
