In the summer of 2009 families and friends just like you began meeting because they all shared a common goal; to enhance the lives of Stone County residents with developmental disabilities.

We are proud to announce the birth of  a new organization ..                                                       CHANCES of Stone County.

               WHAT IS A DEVELOPMENTAL

                                 DISABILITY?         

     A developmental disability is defined as a disability which is attributable to autism, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, a learning disability related to a brain dysfunction, or a similar condition which originated before age 22 and can be expected to continue indefinitely.
