The Arkadelphia Human Development Center, which began operations in 1968, primarily works with adults who have a primary diagnosis of mental retardation with the focus on providing a transitional placement for those who are able to develop vocational skills, obtain employment and eventually secure living and working arrangements in the community.  Group Living, Inc., established in 1973, is a private, non-profit organization that serves individuals with developmental disabilities in order to assist them in attaining their highest level of independence and to become integrated into the community.
