Partnering with Our Community

We are here to help the kids and families of the Northwest Arkansas area!  We value our community members and are enriched by what they can teach us.

Every month we invite community members to visit our facility and share their expertise with our team. We love learning about resources in our area so we can share this information with our families. For example, local professionals have shared their expertise in these areas:

• Animal Assisted Therapy and Research – Dr. Michelle Kilmer, University of Arkansas Nursing School

• Child Safety in Northwest Arkansas – Casey Atwood, Child Safety Center

• Pediatric Orthotics and Prosthetics – Jace Johnson, Core Orthotics and Prosthetics

• What is Play Therapy? – Terrie Barton and Kay Pantier, Watersedge Therapy

• Autism Involves Me – Paula George, Autism Involves Me

• Oral Myofunctional Disorders – Stacey Fletcher, RDH, BS, OMT, CBS

• Neurological Assessments – Dr. Damon Lipinski and Dr. Marcia Fuller, Schmeiding Center

• Access4Autism – Danielle Randolph, University of Arkansas

• Pediatric Adaptive Equipment – Danielle Moss, Numotion

• LAMP Words for Life – Jennifer Herzog, PRC-Saltillo

• Various Funding Options for Children in Arkansas – Mary Jo Vallie, DHS

In addition to community professionals, we also welcome community members who can provide enriching experiences for our kids. For example, a local farmer brought in baby animals for our patients to meet and a local nonprofit organization introduced our patients to dogs that needed fostering. Experiences like these are so exciting for our kids and our team.
