Success Stories

Missouri First Steps families share their stories about how the early intervention services have enriched their lives.

Our journey with First Steps was Fantastic! At first, Brooklyn wasn’t walking, talking, or doing things she was supposed to be doing at her age. Without First Steps, Brooklyn would not be where she is today. I am so thankful for First Steps and the things they did for her and us as a family. Brooklyn today, now walks, she talks more, and everything else that a 3-year-old can do! It’s amazing.​
