AEDD, or Arkansas Enterprises for the Developmentally Disabled, is a non-profit organization based in Little Rock, Arkansas, dedicated to serving individuals with developmental disabilities. Since its establishment in 1971, AEDD has provided a comprehensive range of services, including pre-employment training, real work opportunities, recreational activities, daily living skills development, and a variety of therapies such as physical, occupational, speech, and mental health. The organization also operates an adult skills training center, which not only offers meaningful work experiences for adults with developmental disabilities but also supports local businesses with cost-effective solutions. AEDD’s mission centers on empowering individuals to enhance their quality of life through community-based services that foster independence, personal growth, and active inclusion in society. In 2002, AEDD expanded its outreach by founding a Children's Learning Center, serving both disabled and non-disabled children from birth to age five with individualized care and a robust preschool curriculum. With a staff of 88, AEDD continues to make a significant impact in the community by maximizing individual choices and contributions, supporting both children and adults in achieving greater independence and community participation.
