Steps Therapy
Our goal at Steps Therapy is to provide evidence-based behavioral and educational support services. We do so at the client's home, classroom and community environments for persons with special needs. Our experience, commitment, and our consistency have allowed us to provide the highest quality treatment available by individualizing each child's program to best meet his or her needs. The curricula are based on empirical research and evidence in order to improve socially significant behavior in the least restrictive environment. We employ the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to develop and promote individualized curricula to maximize the potential of every child. We strive to achieve success for each child through all of our efforts.
