Today, Stepping Stone provides services to 275 children on our campus.
These are children that deserve the same opportunities offered to all
children. Opportunities to dream, learn, laugh, and play. At Stepping
Stone, children receive the opportunity to be the very best they can be.
Stepping Stone leads success results in the state of Arkansas. Research
shows an average of 8% of children transitioning from similar programs
in Arkansas, require full day special education classes. Last year less
than 1% of children transitioned from Stepping Stone were required full
day special education classes in their public school. The low percentage
indicates our performance, and places us in the top percentile of
effectiveness in the entire nation!
Look into the eyes of a child. What do you see? Hope, love,
purpose? The children of Stepping Stone School are
nurtured, taught and loved by caring therapists and
competent teachers. This environment helps compensate for
a variety of developmental disabilities as they learn their
school subjects, social skills, and determination.

Every child can and does learn. Parents and teachers work
together to teach and develop these little ones to face their
unimaginable challenges with courage and determination.
Many we serve, also face the challenge of coming from financially
disadvantaged homes. While this may limit their access to some of the
big pay institutions, nothing limits their access to the school with the
most effective program in Arkansas.
There is simply no other organization as caring, nurturing and
competent. Stepping Stone School has proven results that increase year
by year. Stepping Stone does not refuse service due to an inability to
pay. We do not turn anyone away.
