2026 Fashion Event was a success!

What a night! The runway was glowing, the music was pumping, and the confidence was truly off the charts at yesterday’s 2026 Fashion Event. And because of your support, we surpassed fundraising goals, garnering a record-breaking night!

This wasn’t just a fashion show; it was a celebration of style, individuality, and the incredible spirit of our Easterseals community. Our models absolutely owned the stage, showing us all that true beauty is found in being exactly who you are.

Happy Spring Break!

Even though we have regular hours this week, remember that there is no after-care at the preschool.

We’re into the full March Madness spirit at the CTW, and we’re making veggie pizzas! Don’t forget to come to Bingo on Friday!

And this Thursday, wear purple with us for Epilepsy Awareness💜

Consistency creates confidence!

For children with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities (I/DD), a daily routine is more than just a schedule; it’s a tool for success. A well-structured day helps:

- Reduce stress during transitions.
- Support communication and self-regulation.
- Build independence as children learn what to expect next.

Creating a predictable environment allows our kids to focus on what matters most: learning, growing, and being themselves.

Hi Barbie! Hi Ken! 🌸✨

We’re still feeling the pink-powered energy from our Barbie-themed celebration! From the life-sized Mattel box to the iconic outfits, everyone brought their best "main character" energy to the Center for Training and Wellness.

It’s always a great day when we can celebrate the unique style and personality of every individual here at Easterseals.

Room 121 at the Little Rock Developmental Preschool had some very special visitors today! Some of our students from the Academy stopped by to read to the class for Book Buddies.

The best part? These visitors were actually students from this same classroom just two years ago! Seeing them return as readers was a wonderful surprise. These are a few of our "hearts in human form," and we couldn't be prouder of the leaders they are becoming. 📚❤️

Building strong social skills starts with everyday moments at home.

Modeling respectful interaction and practicing turn taking are vital ways to support student growth in their daily lives. Integrating community practice into regular routines helps students develop the confidence they need to navigate the world around them.

Today is his day. 🎉

Lincoln, officially known as the Mayor of Easterseals Arkansas, has a way of making everyone he meets feel special. Big hugs, a contagious laugh, and a wave for every single person he passes.

Born with Au-Kline Syndrome, doctors once told his family he might never walk or talk. Today he has 150 words, runs, jumps, and loves to dance. 💃

This morning, the Mayor takes the runway. We cannot wait!

Introducing Howard Hampton “Hamp” Rasco!

He's been with Easterseals for 50+ years. ✨Fun fact! Hamp served as the Easterseals Poster Child in 1982! ✨
He's also a Paul Harris Fellow of Rotary International, and has been honored by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association in Washington, D.C.

Today, he brings that same winning smile and outgoing personality to the Center for Training and Wellness every single day.

When it comes to the Fashion Event, it's no surprise Hamp owns the runway. He's been charming a crowd his whole life.
This week, we are so proud to have him in the spotlight where he belongs.
