Sunshine School & Development Center

Sunshine School & Development Center For years, having a disability meant being labeled or underestimated for the rest of your life.

Serving NWA since 1958, Sunshine School & Development Center is shattering limitations to enable people touched by disability, serving their unique journey through advocacy, therapy, and education. In every space, individuals would be categorized, written off, or separated. Thankfully, Sunshine School & Development Center was founded with a commitment to seeing potential, not problems. Since 1958,

Sunshine School has served thousands of people in the community by offering a range of services in order to benefit every child and client that we serve. Our mission is to shatter limitations to enable people touched by disability, serving their unique journey through advocacy, therapy, and education. Because of our work, families are better advocates, students aren't limited by their labels, and adults with disabilities thrive in their communities.

We're so excited to be at AIM Fest in September!!

Resource Fair Spotlight

We're excited to welcome Sunshine School & Development Center back to the 17th Annual AIM Fest Community Resource Fair!

Sunshine School is a familiar face at AIM Fest, joining us year after year to connect with families and share the many resources and services they provide throughout Northwest Arkansas. We're incredibly grateful for their continued partnership and commitment to the individuals and families in our community.

Sunshine School provides services for children and adults with developmental disabilities and delays, supporting individuals through different ages and stages of life. From early childhood and therapy services to programs that promote greater independence and community involvement, their team is dedicated to helping each individual learn, grow, and thrive.

Having organizations like Sunshine School return each year is exactly what makes our Community Resource Fair so valuable. Families have the opportunity to meet their team, ask questions, explore available services, and make connections that can continue long after AIM Fest is over.

Be sure to stop by the Sunshine School & Development Center booth to say hello and learn more about the programs and support they offer!

Thank you, Sunshine School, for continuing to show up for AIM and our families year after year. We truly value your partnership and are so happy to have you back at AIM Fest again this year!
