We are Mane Motions Therapy Foundation

Foundation President Dawn Miller, OTR/L, received her Bachelors of Science degree in the field of Occupational Therapy from the University of Kansas in 1986. She moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma where she began working with the pediatric population in early intervention, customized therapeutic equipment, school systems, and private therapy clinics. She received her certification in Neuro-Developmental Therapy (NDT) for children in 1989 and began specializing in neuro-muscular function and movement disorders. She moved back to Kansas with her family in 2000 and began homeschooling her four sons while teaching Biology and Anatomy to home-school co-ops in the KC area. Dawn began working for Poss-Abilities Children’s Therapy Group in Merriam, KS in 2014. She continues to serve children with neuro-muscular disorders and cognitive challenges utilizing the Mira-Colt™ as a clinic-based therapy tool.

Recently, Dawn began a non-profit organization called Mane Motions Therapy Foundation, an outreach mobile therapy service designed to enhance the benefits of horseback riding by using a mechanical horse. Dawn hopes her services with the MiraColt™ will work together with current riding facilities to increase access for these children as they transition to the benefits of actual horseback riding.

Dawn lives in Olathe, Kansas where she is active in her local church and enjoys fellowship opportunities with friends and family. She enjoys riding horses and learning about their therapeutic value for people of all ages. Dawn plans to continue to work on growing her foundation and is currently in the process of becoming certified in hippo-therapy.
