Step by Step

• What they offer / teach

  Step by Step provides recreation and out-of-school activities including an after-school sports programme, a musical performance built on the year's dance classes, Sunday Club, holiday playschemes, day trips, Stay & Play and after-school care. A wheelchair-accessible bus provides two-way transport, picking up and dropping off children from school, home or other locations. The services are also designed to give parents and siblings respite breaks on holidays and half-term.

• Ages served

  The page says services are for children with disabilities "from age two to adult", and states the sports programme is for ages 3 and up.

• Approach

  Children are grouped into ability sub-groups to address individual social, emotional and physical needs (for example the "Butterflies" group of younger children with severe physical disabilities). The organisation describes itself as the only local Orthodox Jewish out-of-school programme for children with special needs, providing a setting that upholds families' values, and it is guided by a parent-led committee with around 70% of the team working as volunteers. Some activities include mainstream, mixed and additional needs groups, and the musical performance has children perform alongside mainstream young girls.
