“The Mission of First Step, Inc. is to promote integration and independence of all people with disabilities.” – Approved by the Board of Directors, First Step, Inc. April 20, 1998

 

Where Compassion Meets Commitment

Our story began in 1958, sown from a seed of hope and the belief that every individual deserves the chance to lead an independent, fulfilling life. In the heartland of Garland County, First Step started its journey, serving a modest group of children and adults with developmental disabilities.

Over the years, our organization has blossomed, extending its reach to 27 counties throughout Arkansas. Yet, the essence of First Step remains unchanged: to enrich lives by promoting integration and independence for people with disabilities.

This core mission guides our every step and illuminates our path forward.

 

We’re more than an organization; we’re a community united by our shared values, deeply woven into the very fabric of our mission and operations. These values are not just written words but principles lived out each day through our actions.
