What is STEPS?
STEPS (Success Through Engagement and Positive Supports) is a community-based day habilitation program for adults—often described as a “day hab without walls.”
​
At Claudia’s Club, participants in the STEPS program build confidence and life skills through:
-
Community integration
-
Individualized support and goal setting
-
Daily activities chosen by participants
-
High staff-to-participant ratios for personalized care
The Williamsville-based STEPS cohort is the sixth group in Western New York, with other cohorts in Amherst, Clarence Center, Eggertsville, and Tonawanda.
