The Stepping Stones Group and EBS (Educational Based Services) have joined together for a common mission!

Wherever children, parents, and educators are seeking support for unique challenges, we provide solutions.

Together, we can stand even stronger behind our mission of Transforming Lives Together to bring children and families first-class pediatric services.


A forward looking company that never loses sight of its history.

EBS was founded by special education professionals and therapists more than 30 years ago. Our concept was simple: empower therapists and educators to become the best in their fields with the latest innovations in research, training, and treatment. A great deal has changed in the last 30 years, but EBS has remained true to its educational roots. Today, EBS is one of the rare therapy and special education organizations still independently owned and operated by therapists and educators. As a result, we are uniquely qualified to understand what schools need to improve student outcomes:
