With the goal of providing local residents with caring and compassionate homes, the Supportive Therapeutic Enhanced Program Services (S.T.E.P.S.) operates a number of community homes in a small community in rural Ontario. Their program is, as the name suggests, very therapeutic, offering adults with developmental disabilities some predictability in their daily routine. With years of experience working with individuals with many different syndromes and various disabilities, their programs are created to give them enhanced life skills, helping them better navigate the world with their unique needs in mind.

Our team was approached by the management team at STEPS earlier this year to help design and install a new padded space for use in one of their residences. Looking to create a safe and quiet space for their residents to calm themselves or to de-escalate, our padding solutions came highly recommended. Given that each and every scenario with these types of padded rooms can be different in nature, they selected a partner with extensive experience in the space and one that can help them design and implement what is required.
