WHAT PARENTS LOVE ABOUT GIANT STEPS

At Giant Steps, we value parents as strong advocates and partners in their children’s personalized, evidence-based treatment plans.
Here’s some of what parents had to say when asked what they loved about the Giant Steps program.

My daughter has come a long way since starting at Giant Steps, when she needed enormous assistance with transitions, communication, dressing and other life skills, and behaviours such as waiting for her turn and responding to “no”.

She now participates in group activities, is more vocal, receptive language has improved and speech is blooming! And she is becoming more independent every day.

I finally see a bright future ahead for my daughter, thanks to Giant Steps’ nurturing, communicative and expert team!
