We believe individuals with disabilities can flourish
Barbara Stone started a movement over fifty years ago that forever improved the lives of individuals with disabilities. Today, Barbara Stone Foundation carries on that legacy.
Our work reflects a firm belief that all individuals with disabilities can flourish when given the opportunity. We work to build the relationships and programs that make those opportunities happen.
Join us! Together we will serve as champions for individuals with disabilities, just as Barbara Stone envisioned.
