Little Steps Together welcomes children of all abilities and their families.

Our outings are designed to be inclusive, creating opportunities for children with diverse developmental, communication, sensory, and support needs to participate confidently alongside their families in meaningful community experiences.

Children develop best when they have opportunities to apply their skills in real-world settings.

Little Steps Together bridges the gap between therapy and everyday life by creating meaningful experiences where children can practise communication, social interaction, independence, and problem-solving in natural environments.

More importantly, it provides families with a supportive community where everyone feels welcomed, included, and empowered to take little steps together.

Every event is unique, but you can expect a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive environment where families can explore, play, and connect together. Depending on the event, activities may include:

• Playground and outdoor adventures

• Nature walks and community exploration

• Cafe and dining experiences

• Sensory and creative activities

• Parent workshops

• Family social gatherings

• Seasonal celebrations and special events

The events are therapist-supported, providing guidance and encouragement where needed while allowing children and families to enjoy natural, meaningful experiences together.

Our therapists help facilitate and build confidence to create opportunities for participation within everyday community settings.

Through meaningful community experiences, children naturally develop:

• Communication and self-advocacy

• Social interaction and friendship skills

• Confidence and independence

• Emotional regulation

• Problem-solving and flexible thinking

• Community participation

• Functional daily living skills

• Leisure and play skills

No. Our events are open to the wider community, allowing all families to connect, learn, and participate together. Some events may have specific eligibility requirements or limited spaces, which will be indicated in the event details.

Simply browse our upcoming events and select the ones you'd like to attend. Each event page includes information about the activity, venue, date, and registration process.

Absolutely!

Little Steps Together is centred around family participation. Parents, siblings, and caregivers are encouraged to join in, creating shared experiences that strengthen family connections while supporting children to engage confidently within the community.
