We are a DDTCS facility that works with children ranging from six weeks to five years in age. We offer a wide variety of services, and strive to provide our clients and their families with tools tailored to meet their individual needs. These needs are determined through an assessment made by the child’s primary care physician and a team of professionals. Once the client’s needs are defined, a cust
om plan outlining the distinct services needed is provided. Since each child is different, their plans are too. Some plans will encompass all the services offered at Step by Step and some will only partake in various services. These types of services can become quite costly; however, the beauty of Step by Step is that if your child qualifies for our programming, it is provided at NO cost to the parent! Services Provided:
