EMPOWERING PARENTS & IMPROVING OUTCOMES

As parents and caregivers, we know first hand the overwhelm of caring for a child with special needs or learning delays. It's tough, if not impossible, to stay on top of getting the needed level of care from medical, educational and community resources.

At StepUp, we target homebase organization. You will quickly see how we can make better your current supports, find new resources, and start (or step up) home programming that will improve your child's outcomes. And we only use best practices and techniques designed by education professionals and Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs).

25 Reasons to Use Visual Strategies

Noah's Mom

Deirdre helped me sort through a very confusing time when my son was first diagnosed. She asked questions to understand what I thought was best for my child and family then gave me a simple plan of best next steps. She has a way of reminding you to stay present and not get too far ahead which helped me a lot.

Caroline's Mom

"Deirdre wrote a gap plan for my daughter to promote her successful transition to kindergarten and a new school. She introduced me to new resources, provided materials for organization, and shared ideas. Deirdre has a rare combination of professional and personal experience. I am grateful for her help and support."

Daniel's Mom

Deirdre helped our family apply for LISS funding, answered our questions and gave us referrals to use for services after we received an award. It is simple now, but going through it wasn't and it was great to have someone to call for guidance.
