Mission Statement
Step by Step Early Intervention Society is a charitable organization providing exceptional early childhood education, therapeutic and family supports for developmentally delayed and disabled children and their families.
About This Cause
The first five years of a child’s life are the most critical for development. At Step by Step we work with, and support developmentally delayed and disabled children and their families during these critical years. What began as an informal parent support group in 2015 has grown into a life changing not-for-profit organization that has forever augmented the trajectory of hundreds of Calgary area children. At the Step by Step Centre, we provide a structured, play-based approach planned by certified teachers in collaboration with our team of occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech-language pathologists, behavior strategists, psychologists, and music therapists. Our phenomenal team of developmental aides work closely with children supporting their learning and therapy objectives. We rely on provincial Program Unit Funding (PUF) and Family Supports for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) to operate programming for children who meet the government's age and diagnoses requirements for this funding. As these programs face cutbacks and changes, we need community support more than ever. Step by Step believes early intervention should be offered as young as possible. Our First Steps program fills a gap for children who don’t yet meet the diagnoses or age requirements for PUF and FSCD. Early intervention during this critical period is a much-needed resource for families navigating the complex and lengthy process to acquire funding. Each year we see demand for programs increasing and we want to be able to meet the needs of every child and family that calls on us for support. Will you help us ensure these families thrive? *follow us on Instagram/Facebook/Twitter @stepbystepyyc
