A unique and groundbreaking institution in Kingston, Jamaica. The school was founded by parents in 1993. They believed that their children who developed differently had the right to education. The right to take part in social interaction with other children and to be given the opportunity and specialized help to reach his/her full potential. The STEP Centre: - emphasizes full parental participation and on going staff development
- provides a training resource for professionals and paraprofessionals in the field
- seeks to be an advocate for children with disabilities and their families
The STEP Centre is staffed by a multi-disciplinary team including teachers, physiotherapist, speech and occupational therapists and teaching assistants. |
