About Us............

P.O. Box 2389 • Alma, Arkansas 72921 • Tel (479) 632-3813 • Fax (479) 632-8986 Stepping Stone was organized in 1972 and began by providing services to six individuals with two staff members. Today Stepping Stone is no longer just a school, it has become a comprehensive service provider to people with developmental disabilities and their families, serving as a model to other organizations in the state for how to reach and serve people. Stepping Stone is the parent organization for five programs: the Therapeutic preschool; the Adult Development Center/Jobs Plus; Cedar Ridge, assisted living; Personal Care; and the Medicaid Waiver program. The Therapeutic preschool is the only full-time one of it’s kind in Crawford County. We offer educational training, speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, behavior management, plus family case management and training. What makes us special? • Stepping Stone serves as a model to other organizations in the region for how to reach people with developmental disabilities. • Stepping Stone provides services to people who desperately need our help but have not yet received funding from state or federal sources. • Stepping Stone provides services to children who have been turned away from other institutions. • Stepping Stone receives referrals from physicians all around our region. • Stepping Stone is succeeding in raising awareness in our region for people with developmental disabilities. • In 45 years of operation, Stepping Stone has always operated with a balanced budget. • Stepping Stone transitions a large number of children to traditional public school classrooms that otherwise would not if their needs hadn’t been met. • Stepping Stone has a commitment to careful planning for how to continue to meet the fast growing needs or our region.
