Lexie’s Ranch, a therapeutic day program and inclusive community space for individuals with autism and developmental disabilities, is opening in Scottsdale this fall.

The 1.32-acre property, located near Cactus and Scottsdale roads, is run by 501(c)(3) Lexie’s Voice, according to a press release.

The ranch will offer daily programming, equine therapy and onsite therapeutic services in a nature-based setting daily, serving up to 12 individuals.

Plans for the site include transforming the existing stables into an activity barn and gym with a sensory room, creating a walking track designed for movement and exploration and adding a park with inclusive equipment for all abilities. A petting zoo featuring horses, Highland cows, chickens and other animals will also enhance therapeutic interaction.
