"Stepping Stones is a home away from home that offers a warm, welcoming natural environment for my son’s ABA therapy. I find that it’s really helping him generalize his skills and the other children provide great modeling for many of the skills we are working on with him too. It’s so funny to see how quickly he will get dressed and ready at the door when I tell him he’s going to play at Stepping Stones!"
"The staff at stepping stones are exemplary in their theory based and practical knowledge, working with our children on a program designed to suit each of their specific needs. They are patient, caring and extremely resourceful at navigating our children to make good choices in their day, and helping to meet goals in a positive, supportive manner. Our son transitions through the door and is happy to see and share his news with the friends he has made there"
