This is the first time I've ever been anywhere where the staff and other parents understand what I am going through.

Using the principles of Conductive Education has a marked impact on the development of individual children.

Steps has given 'A' and us as a family so much hope...suddenly we could see every small step forward again, we weren't lonely anymore and everyone at the centre glows with inclusion.

Steps is the only place where 'L' and I feel accepted and understood, the only place that offers hope to us in what can often feel like an extremely difficult and challenging day to day life.

Since the start of lockdown, the team at Steps have been the one constant that have continued to provide 'R' with the support he needs to aid his development.

'L' has gone from a shy little girl unable to sit fully unaided...to an amazing walking, cheeky exceptional little girl who can now reach for the stars and knows she can achieve anything 'L' wants to, thanks to the amazing work Steps do.

My worst fear is someone in our position in years to come won't have a place to give them the hope we needed so much all those years ago...Steps, thank you so much for all you do for our family.

Steps have been an absolute lifeline over lockdown, checking in on us every week, regular sessions, sending us special equipment and even some super cool boots to strengthen her little ankles.
