Overview

Mission

Empower individuals who are in central Arkansas with disabilities to thrive by providing inclusive therapy programs, financial support, and community experiences.

What it reported doing in 2025

A total of 37 individuals were awarded financial assistance scholarships. Thirty-three special needs individuals received scholarships for hippotherapy, therapeutic horsemanship, and/or aquatic sessions. These sessions build confidence and offer neurological, physical cognitive and communication benefits. Scholarships were awarded to four individuals for a "who's in your herd" social program that focuses on participants learning human dynamics and relationship building, interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence. Financial assistance is awarded based on considerations such as financial need, lack of access to insurance/waiver funding, and other considerations.

The verdict
