4. Wing Cadets - Developmental Wings is very excited about our latest program called Wing Cadets. Wing Cadets focus is to help improve the quality of life for children with special needs while providing them the opportunity to learn valuable life skills that they will use as adults. We focus on abilities, not disabilities and accommodations will be made for each child's need.

The "Blazing Stars" sports program will be phased out and incorporated into Wing Cadets. The sports program gives special needs children a chance to be part of a team, to feel included, and to play fun games while exercising their minds and bodies, learning new skills and making new friends. The sports program consists of softball, bowling, horseback riding, and karate. 

Wing Cadets will also have a program called "Out and About". This program is a "field
trip" based activity that will teach our kids about nature, our community, safety, history, all while doing fun and exciting activities. These activities will allow them to build self esteem and make friends all while having fun! 

If you have any questions, please contact the Wing Cadets Director, Karla Johnston, at 479-461-1432 or via email.

We plan to expand our services as funding becomes available.  Please visit our contacts page to request more information.
