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.
In this case, organizers were looking for a fire-rated padding solution and wanted to ensure that both the floor and walls were all completely padded in this sensory room. We worked closely with the team at STEPS to ensure that all of the details were taken into consideration during our initial site visits. Following that, the padding project went off to production following a fast and easy approval process.
Once completed, we safely installed the customized padding on-site. Now, the growing treatment centre has yet another safe space for those living on-site and for those just visiting, providing another option for safe and healthy treatment.
With projects like these, we pride ourselves on working tirelessly to get the project perfect for those looking to build padded spaces. With not only the unique needs of the prospective users taken into account, our team is well-trained in also assessing the proposed space and designing the right padding solution for each individual need.
Call us today to get your safety padding project underway.
