The Marshall Starke Development Center provides a variety of training and employment services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Marshall Starke also provides the Head Start and Early Head Start programs in Marshall and Starke counties.

Marshall Starke Development has been a cornerstone of the Plymouth, Indiana community since its founding in 1976. Born from the dedication of local families seeking better support for their loved ones with disabilities, MSDC has grown into a trusted organization committed to empowering individuals of all ages. Our team believes in creating personalized opportunities that allow each person to thrive, offering supported living, employment guidance, and community engagement programs. We are passionate about fostering independence, choice, and inclusion for every individual we serve.

Beyond adult services, Marshall Starke Development is deeply committed to early childhood education and family support. Our Early Head Start and Head Start programs welcome children of all abilities, ensuring they receive a strong foundation for growth and learning. High school students also benefit from our Technical Training Cooperative, providing dual credit pathways to higher education while gaining practical skills. At MSDC, we combine professional expertise with heartfelt care, empowering individuals and families while nurturing the next generation of community leaders.
