About Cody's Corner
History
My name is Stephanie. Cody’s Corner is the heart of my soul. At a young age, my parents became foster parents, caring for children who needed a place to call home. I learned what it was like to be around children with different disabilities, including a dear friend that I grew up with that had down syndrome, who has since passed.
In 2003 I graduated from the University of New Mexico with a degree in Elementary Education with a minor in English. When my son Cody was six years old, I began working closely with families from the state of New Mexico as a Service Coordinator, where I oversaw the Respite Program and served on the board for the Human Rights Committee. As part of my responsibilities, I visited individual's homes each month to make certain they were being properly cared for to offer help to the whole family. I loved the families like they were my own.
In 2016 my new home became Arizona. I knew I wanted to continue working with disabled individuals, so I began my journey to open Cody's Corner.
I formed Cody's Corner in August of 2017 with a desire to take my passion for assisting adults with their unique challenges in the utmost kind and compassionate way. I have over 14 years of experience in the industry and know the level of commitment, heart and compassion required to service these amazing individuals.

Gratitude
"Go take care of those angels!" is my mom's favorite words to say to me.
Cody’s Corner would not have become my reality without the love and support of my loving parents and my amazing son Cody! Without the love and sacrifice they demonstrated while I was pursuing this dream, I could not have succeeded without them pushing me to succeed!!
