STEP program helps emotionally disturbed children stay home
A seven year effort by twelve parents and twelve families led to STEP, a private therapy program for emotionally disturbed children. Starting with six, it now serves thirty three, returning eleven to public schools and expanding training for teachers. STEP seeks funds to buy the Akiba school building for expanded services and outreach. Dorothy Peters, founder, emphasizes human needs drive the program and asks for support.
