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.                                                            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, laugh, learn and play.  At Stepping Stone, children receive the opportunity to truly 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 transitioning 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.
