Since our establishment, we have continued to provide high-quality residential services for the youth and adults with developmental disabilities. At Step By Step for Change, Inc., we are proud to have our residential homes located throughout some of the best neighborhoods in Maryland.
Compassion. Care. Compatibility.
Our residential houses are homes. Just as we customize our wellness plans, we also fully personalize the living situation for our clients, making adjustments and accommodations as necessary. At Step By Step for Change, Inc., we understand that everyone is different which is why we go to great lengths to ensure that our clients are safe and comfortable and that they have all of the necessary support to live an independent, happy, and meaningful life.
Matching
Each residential home has a maximum of 3 residents. Before placement, we make sure to introduce new clients based on compatibility with their potential housemates. The matching process also involves matching people with similar interests and needs.
