members providing services to six
individuals. Today, Stepping Stone is
no longer just a school; It has
become a comprehensive service
provider to people with
developmental disabilities and their
families. Our program provides a
model for other organizations in the
state, on how to reach and serve
people. Stepping Stone is the parent
organization for five programs:
Therapeutic Preschool, Adult
Development Center/Jobs Plus,
