Hello, welcome to Steps. ........ we have a new number so please telephone 01803 214124

Steps exists because we have the passionate belief that no child should be denied the magical, joyous, life-enhancing and educational benefits of play because of a disability.

Covering the whole of the UK, Steps provides a FREE Developmental Toy and Switch Lending Library service to individual children and hospices. We also run a subscription service for organisations. We have amassed a huge stock of unique battery-operated toys, external switches, expertise in adaptation techniques and in the matching of toys and switches to the needs of the disabled child.

Mainstream toys are adapted so that, with a special external switch, children can play independently by switching on the toys by squeezing, pressing, bashing, blowing, sucking...whatever movement the child has. Please feel free to browse our site, or give us a call. 
 
     
     
 

As of 1st March 2009 and as due to the current recession, securing funding for Steps has, and may continue to be difficult during this financial crisis.  To ensure we can continue to deliver an excellent service to all our existing members, new registration enquires are being added to a waiting list.

PLEASE continue to call Steps to have your name put on our waiting list, as this will be used as evidence to secure new funding so we can register more children.  You really can help us, so we can provide more free developmental toys to disabled children across the UK.  We are truly sorry for this inconvenience and thank you for your understanding during this period.  We hope to be able to start registrations again as soon as possible.

Please also note:  The loan time of toys & switches is being increased from 3 months to 4 months for the foreseeable future.  This does not affect current toys on loan, just all future toy lending.  This is being implemented as a cost saving exercise, which we feel is good working practice in relation to the current economic climate.
