You can also change it from the command line:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard stickykeys-enable true

As well as the other two options:

Disable if two keys are pressed together:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard stickykeys-two-key-off true

And the beeps:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard stickykeys-modifier-beep true

You can disable each of these by replacing true with false in the commands.
