Sponsor a Child
Help a family take their next step with confidence.
Give a Family the Gift of Guidance
For many families, the hardest part of raising a child with developmental or learning needs isn't the challenge itself — it's not knowing where to turn. Evaluations, IEP meetings, and OPWDD applications can feel like a maze of paperwork and unfamiliar language, and not every family has the time, resources, or support system to navigate it alone.
When you sponsor a child through Step by Step Services, you help remove that barrier. Your sponsorship directly supports a family's access to Early Intervention services, hands-on special education advocacy, and guidance through the OPWDD application process — giving a child the best possible start and a family the confidence to move forward.
What Your Sponsorship Supports
- One-on-one advocacy at CPSE and CSE meetings
- Guidance through Early Intervention and preschool services
- Support completing the OPWDD application process
- Access to trusted community resources and programs
A Small Step for You, A Big Step for a Family

Better Outcomes for Children
Timely access to Early Intervention and appropriate special education services can make a meaningful, lasting difference in a child's development.

Every family you help gain access to the right support strengthens the broader community of families we serve together.
