Small Steps Online is a free, easy-to-use online platform designed to make early intervention accessible and supportive for every family, no matter where they live. It offers step-by-step activities, expert guidance, and a warm community — helping children grow and learn at their own pace, right at home.

Benefits of our program.

#1. Unlock Your Child's Full Potential

The Small Steps program is designed to help you support your child's development independently, with easy-to-follow steps you can start right away, all from the comfort of your home.

#2. Additional Resources for Your Journey

We offer a range of resources to support your child’s development, including a blog with the latest research, a comprehensive list of articles and recommended books, online courses (e.g., sign language), and seminars for expert advice and training. Stay informed and connected every step of the way.

#3. Therapist Support Available

While the Small Steps program is designed to be self-guided, professional support from our experienced therapists is always available if you need assistance. Whether you have questions or need guidance, we're here to ensure your child’s progress every step of the way.

#4. Connect with Other Parents.

As part of the Small Steps program, you’ll have access to a supportive community of parents who are also raising children with Down Syndrome. Connect, share experiences, and learn best practices from others who understand your journey. Together, you’ll find encouragement, strength, and invaluable insights.
We started Small Steps when our son was six months old, and within weeks, we saw improvements in his muscle tone and engagement. The program makes it easy to integrate developmental activities into everyday playtime.

This isn’t just an online course - it’s a community. Knowing other parents are on the same journey gives us so much encouragement. The resources are practical, and we love that we can revisit them anytime.

What other parents say

When we first received our child's diagnosis, we felt lost. Small Steps gave us a structured yet flexible way to support our baby’s development.

 The guidance from the DownTeam was invaluable, and the activities were easy to follow. We now feel more confident about the future!
