We nurture every individual's unique capabilities, helping them engage with the community through vocational support, enriching activities, including music, art and cultural activities, exercise (or alternatively "supporting a healthy lifestyle"), while ensuring their safety and enriching their lives.
HISTORY
The Creative Steps program was founded in 2013 by a group of parents, each of whom had a son or daughter with a moderate to severe developmental disability. After years of being in a structured school setting, and few good post high-school organizations available, the next best step wasn’t clear. There was a very real possibility their young adult child would sit at home, isolated, with no chance to continue to learn, grow, get a job, make friends, or otherwise lead a rich and fulfilling life.
​
That’s why our founders created Creative Steps, an adult day program for persons with moderate to severe disabilities. It has evolved to become a supportive “village” for both individuals with disabilities, and their families, providing local community engagement, a destination for hanging out with friends, working on living skills and participating in activities that are meaningful, engaging and promote lifelong learning.
​
Our program is supported with state funding received by our clients, institutional grants, and private donations. With these supports, we are able to offer our clients and their families a safe, enriching program where everyone thrives.
