The Texas A&M University Colonias Program helps increase self-sufficiency and enhances the quality of life for colonias residents all along the Texas-Mexico border.

Colonias are economically distressed, relatively undeveloped communities located near population centers on the U.S. side of the border. They often lack one or more neighborhood infrastructure elements such as running water, electricity, or paved roads.

Colonias program staff partner with a wide variety of public and private agencies to provide literacy and job training, health education, and economic and community development for colonias residents.

We provide clean, safe and stimulating areas designed to instill a sense of comfort and peacefulness, while educating and counseling those with special needs and giving them chances to succeed in many facets of everyday life.

Community Volunteer Opportunities
Making a strong connection with the community is very important for developmentally challenged individuals. Volunteering in community projects helps to strengthen those connections. These volunteering opportunities helps our folks build a stronger sense of self-worth. For this reason Stepping Stones makes every effort to locate volunteer opportunities for our people.

Job Coaching
Some of our folks have jobs when they join our program and some are wanting to find jobs. We offer job training to help those with jobs improve their skills to make it easier for them to keep working. And we offer assistance for those looking for work. As a team the staff frequently meet to assess our folks' job performances and then offer suggestions on how to help them improve.

Health Coaching
When health issues make it necessary for special needs people to make lifestyle changes it can be frightening and confusing. We, at Stepping Stones Day Hab, help guide them through the confusion by providing an on site Certified Integrative Nutrition Coach. Our Health Coach works with the individual’s team of health care professionals developing a plan of action that will address their health concerns. Once this plan is in place the Health Coach directs them on how to follow it.

This program is for adults with intellectual or developmental disorders (IDD).
