Summary

Stepping Stones is a non-public agency (NPA) that provides Speech and Language Pathology Services for school based services that are identified on Individual Education Plans (IEP's).

Stepping Stones is a company that is utilized to provide Speech Services to ensure that all of our needed Speech Services are covered for the 2020-2021 school year. MDUSD Human Resources Department and Special Education continues to recruit and hire district employees.
